If you delete them, they won't show up anymore. :>
If you don't like the idea of totally deleting them, you could apply the
trash folder patch, and save them to a trash folder for later deleting
and / or archiving. If you want to keep different trashes for different
folders, this can be accomplished with folder hooks.
Personally, I leave messages marked as "New" until I've responded to
them or dealt with whatever needed to be dealt with, and then I either
leave them in the folder (but unread), or delete them.
I don't think you can /hide/ old and / or read messages, but you can
color them differently if you want.
