For example, you can set up a folder processing rule, Match criteria:
age, with an action of Move. Then use '/Tools/Run folder processing
rules' to run it on demand (adding a hotkey for this menu item, if
you like), or you can run it automatically every time you open the
folder (see the folder Properties, General page).

Personally I have one mailbox for all my POP accounts, and the inbox
has sub-folders for each account. I don't think there are any pros and
cons to any method, it's just a matter of personal preference.

It works for me. What version of Claws are you using? How do you open
the message? What setting do you have for the 'open message when
selected' option on the Display/Summaries page of the prefs?
