Ah, you mean "saved search" containers in the tree view?
Thunderbird has these too. Doesn't quite make it Gmail though.

If you're interested in the client part of mailing, perhaps create a
dummy account, join the dovecot and postfix mailing lists, create two
new filter rules that apply either "postfix" or "dovecot" labels and
archives (= unapplies "Inbox" label) messages depending

Gonna be tough to squeeze in between all the updates that needs to be

Thanks for all the responses.
The simplest approach in my situation seems to be the XPI one, where
users can install an XPI into Thunderbird and get a template that
