I think the closest thing Claws has to what you want is its tags |
| 10 |
feature. You can create filtering or processing rules to tag the |
| 11 |
messages. |

The tags will remain across restarts. |

With tags, the messages are only in the original folder, but it's quick |
| 23 |
to see only the messages with a particular tag by using the search box, |
| 24 |
by default in between the message list and the message viewer. |

With filtering, the tags would be applied as messages arrive. I'm not |
| 31 |
sure how to make something happen when a message changes, except to |
| 32 |
manually force re-filtering or re-processing. |

I think the tags will work with any kind of message, but I only have |
| 40 |
IMAP and NNTP configured. |

Tags may be more flexible than I've described (I'm no Claws guru) or |
| 47 |
there may be better ways to do something like what you want. If you |
| 48 |
don't get quite what you want here, the Claws Mail ml is pretty good, |
