Dunno much about GUI offerings, but for a local no-spyware alternative,

a thread to another mailbox, the whole thread can be tagged and treated
as a unit for the archive/delete/... action. Wouldn't swap it for a ton
of tea.

My local LinuxCNC archive is sorted into a bunch of topics, for quick
reference:

$ ls -1 mail/cnc_linux_* | wc -l
447

But maybe Gmail can do that too ... and reaching for the mouse all the
time provides more exercise, which is good.

(Who's carted some bricks, and quartered a small Blackwood log with the
chainsaw today, so will pass on the extra exercise.)

Forgot to mention on the previous posts that T-bird does threading quite well and also has a well developed filter system to plunk inbound mails to a specific mailbox. This one lands in a mailbox called EMC2 (I left it at that name for nostalgia reasons ;-) ), along with plenty of keyboard shortcuts so the mouse isn't quite the necessary evil required in Winders land here on this Ubuntu machine.
