You, my friend, need Gnus, look at this:

[ Gnus -- 7163 ]
  [ Debian -- 1758 ]
*        0: nnml:debian-announce
*        0: nnml:debian-news
      1754: nnml:debian-user
         4: nnml:debian-security
  [ PostgreSQL -- 3380 ]
       288: nnml:pgsql-admin
      2163: nnml:pgsql-general
       929: nnml:pgsql-sql
  [ mail -- 21 ]
        21: nnml:misc.misc
  [ misc -- 1943 ]
         3: news.announce.newusers
       326: news.groups.questions
      1590: gnu.emacs.gnus
         4: nndoc+gnus-help:gnus-help
        20: nndraft:drafts
  [ XML -- 61 ]
        61: nnml:xmlschema-dev

This way you can divide your mail in groups as if they were newsgroups.
