Open an ordinary folder which would receive all the messages you want and
then attach a virtual folder to it which sorts according to the other
special criteria, or perhaps attach more than one virtual folder with other
sorting criteria.

I don't think so, but you could take messages to one folder by using a
'Common' filter and attach virtual folders to that common folder.

Not so if you do as I suggest above. Messages will only be stored in the
ordinary folder, having been moved from the Inbox.

The filters for the virtual folder are accessed via the virtual folder
properties once you have created the virtual folder.
