I primarily use pop (and imap and gmail interface when I need to), but 
since I read email with different focus when I'm at home or at work, 
popping the msgs has turned out to be the most efficient way for me to 
operate. I also have gmail filters set up. My centos filter is dead simple:

Matches: to:(centos at centos.org)
Do this: Skip Inbox, Mark as read, Apply label "Lists/centos", Never 
send it to Spam

So in the gmail interface and in the gmail imap setup in TB, I have a 
nice little cubbyhole that has all the centos emails in it.

Then when my TB clients pop the messages, they filter with this one:

name="CentOS"
enabled="yes"
type="17"
action="Move to folder"
actionValue="mailbox://nobody@Local%20Folders/08%20Lists/CentOS/centos"
action="Stop execution"
condition="OR (all addresses,contains,centos at centos.org) OR (all 
addresses,contains,mailman-owner at centos.org)"

Interestingly, the filter in my home TB lacks the JunkScore=0 action, 
but seems to work just as well as the one at work that includes it.

Hope this helps.
