You might look at Claws-mail. I've no idea of the extent of the
documentation, as I moved to it from TB and never needed documents.
I confirm that filtering certainly works, as I use it with a newsgroup
that is unusable unless about forty names/subjects are dumped.
It has bugs, and is no use if you use testing, as it has (temporarily, I
hope) been removed from there. So I'm not using testing until it comes
back.
