Well, it is a one-time effort to set up the structure. Adding a new list
later is just adding a new list-id condition or a new smart mailbox. The
rest follows automatically. Settings things up in MailMate may indeed be
a tad more involved than in other mail clients but MailMail focuses on
features for power users and offers a bunch of options not available in
other mail clients. I haven’t seen a client yet that has more
feature-rich and very fast smart mailboxes, for example, handling my
100k emails without any hesitation.

Have you tried without tagging? Here are more or less the steps to
follow:
1. create a mailbox “mailinglists”
2. on the tab “mailboxes” check the checkbox “include messages
in any submailboxes of this mailbox”
3. inside this mailbox, create a separate smart mailbox for each of
your mailing lists
4. create a mailbox “new mail”
5. set the “mailboxes” tab to have
all of the following mailboxes
All Messages (or Inbox)
None of the following mailboxes
Mailing lists
I hope the indentation carries through properly as it is critical.
It did, though you might find the markdown syntax useful:

Though I've found the preview function so sluggish, I generally have
it disabled. Mind you, I've been using plaintext markup for **years**.
:roll: ;-)
6. You can set on the “Conditions” tab “Message not Read” to
see only unread messages
The “New Mail” mailbox should show all your mail except those
that are in your mailinglists.
Yes, I worked that out. But I was looking for a way of doing this
without creating a slew of new mailboxes, ie. sticking as close to
what I'm used to as possible. The way Opera Mail does this very
similar to MailMate but I'd argue slightly more intuitive, though it's
more restricted in other ways, such as being able to create views from
a search.
The current setup is to create folders (smart mailboxes without
criteria) and add individual lists to these (find isn't brilliant for
these). These can then be excluded from the catch all mailing list.
For 2 and 3, you can use the simpler setup suggested earlier if your
mailinglists are uniform and can be all identified within a single
smart mailbox. In my case, for some lists I use List-Id, for others
from-address, for others to-address, for some I need to additionally
check for an identifier in the subject.
Fortunately, all the ones I have can be correctly identified via a
list-id header, though auto-completion doesn't work that well.
Still, given that I only started with the program on Monday, I'm
really enjoying it. :-)
