Exactly the sort of filtering rule that I outlined above (one matching
rule, one action).

I'm on several mailing lists, and for many many years before running
Linux, I would simply get my mail client to sort incoming mail into
folders for each list, like that.  None of them had any problems doing
such a thing, and neither should Evolution.

Definitely not, and I've explicitly said I don't do that.  And I agree
that you want it done elsewhere, if you're going to do it.  Preferably
at the first mail server that handles your mail (which really would be
the ISP, but so few ISPs give you good configuration options if you do
that).

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.  I
read messages from the public lists.
