I just tried it and it seems TB does that as soon as an e-mail that
corresponds the filter settings is marked read (when I tried it it
worked only when is was marked automatically).

Well, you can set up a filter to process certain incoming mails to go
directly to the trash folder, or even to be deleted right away, but
in that case you should be pretty sure you don't want to take a quick
look at them before they are gone. Look through the filter action tab
in the sorting office to learn which options are available (gosh, I've
written to many user documentations lately... I already sound like one
myself :-) ).

As soon as the reply is sent, because only then will the original
message be marked "replied".

They shouldn't be as the option is called "replied mail", i.e. mail
that you have replied to.

Dude, is someone using your address for spammning? :-)

I don't get this exactly *confused*, but I think what you need to do
is to run "kill duplicates" in the folder menu. Even though it's
probably kind of annoying to do that all the time. I don't know that
there is an automated feature for this, but I could be wrong here.

You mean without having your own messages moved to that folder, too?
Try to set up a filter for all messages sent to that address, moving
them to the desired folder, and then create a new filter to sort out
the messages written by yourself and putting them somewhere else. Make
this filter the first in your list and activate "continue with other
filters" (sorry, I don't have the English version of TB, hope my
translation is close to the original wording) in the filter's options
tab. Should work!
