I use a different one for debian stuff. I have another account for personal stuff 
and I do use email aliases quite a bit on that one after one of my aliases 
ended up in a security breach, so that one receives lots of spam. Now each 
recipient gets its own alias so when that alias gets misused, it's easy to 
block and it would also clearly identify the culprit.

I use Sieve filters where the most used filter is on mailing-list-id which then 
gets moved into its own folder. This is similar as to what others have 
suggested, but with Sieve filters the sorting gets done on the server side and 
therefor works regardless which client I use.
With my current mail provider I can modify those filters locally, which also 
makes it easy to make a local copy/backup. My previous mail provider only had 
a clunky web UI with no way to export/backup those rules.
