Not sure if i've understood you correctly... i set a filter on Gmail
UI by entering in a obscure word in the 'not' box i.e. so if an email
does not contain the word it is archived and then i read mail in the
All Mail box. Saves manually archiving every so often. I wonder if you
are a bit like me i like the Gmail UI for most things but it is useful
to use an email client sometimes. As a linux user i find Alpine the
best as i don't have to download headers each time i do an install of
a new release which is every six months. Alpine just reads on the
server and all i do is copy over the .pinerc file when i do an
install. No other mail client works as fast as Alpine i find.

Obviously if you like Gnus you could set it up to do similar... Gnus
was a bit complicated for me!
