But this means (if I got it right) that I still have to choose one by
one the messages I want to save/move/delete. I'd like to see the
opposite:

1. I read my mail and flag the interesting messages;
2. when the folder looks "full", I hit the "Delete all" button and all
messages except the flagged ones are deleted.

Can I do this with filters now? Sorry if this looks like a dumb
question, perhaps I haven't fiddled enough with Evolution :)
