Hi: I haven't used the Web interface much, except to search for messages, for the most part.
However, I just set up filters in GMail and assigned labels to the messages that are filtered out. Apple mail does a good job of treating these "labels" like mailboxes, so, when I open Apple mail, I can, for example, get my messages from this list in what looks like a separate mailbox called "Mac Visionaries" under the Gmail account. This way, my Inbox is far less cluttered. This has worked for me, as I some times experiment and re-install the OS, to familiarize myself with various configurations, and, one of the headaches was redoing my filters in Mail every time. So far, this is working for me, and, I can use Mail on, say, 2 different partitions, one containing Snow Leopard, and the other containing Lion, without worrying about re-inventing the wheel. It was a slight pain doing the filters and labels, but, it's over and set up in Google's servers, and, it works like a champ. You should give it a try and see if it works for you. Only you can be the judge. Hth.
