I use Thunderbird for one of the organizations I am in and find that it is quite easy to filter incoming messages to folders for further reading/action. See Tools->Message Filters.
For deleting, I just go to that folder, Select All, and Delete. Unless I'm missing something that should do it. I get my gmail group messages on Apple's Mail as IMAP rather than POP so if I deleted my valuable local copy of BBEdit messages, some or all of them might download again. Ha! I would be disappointed if someone changed all the subject lines to include the [BBEdit Group].
