What you're doing is shoe-horning TB! into doing something that a
specialized news client will do better. Much better. It's like
shoe-horning POP into doing what IMAP is designed for. It's awkward
and works to the extent where it's actually tolerable and workable for
some. But it will simply not be enough for others.
If you can't use IMAP and need IMAP functionality then shoehorn POP
away. Same for NNTP. Setup the fancy watch and ignore filters etc.
High maintenance etc. I'd rather not.
Downloading hundreds of mails per day to read 5 per week just isn't
efficient. NNTP with a decent news client does this better. A lot
better.
