Hello,
if set_sort=threads is okay for you, maybe I have a solution:
in my .muttrc I put
color index brightwhite green "~f ---"
folder-hook .maildir/$ 'set sort = threads; exec collapse-all'
bind index < collapse-thread
bind index > collapse-all
Then I created some "categories" in my Inbox; they are just plain mails,
but with the sender edited to "---". Just send you a normal email,
choose it in the index and press 'e' (or some other mapping...). It
should open in your favorite $editor, at the top you'll find you email
address. Change it to '---' and save.
Now sync your mailbox ('$'), so the old mail goes.
Then this new "category" (you gave it a nice Subject:, did you? If not,
just edit again :) ) has a nice green background. To put mails into it,
mark them ('t'), go to your "category" and press, erm, '&' is the
default for link-threads, right?
Now comes the magic: Press '>' (or re-open the maildir), and all threads
are collapsed. Your "category" is closed, the mails inside are hidden,
the index is cleaned up.
To open/close a "category", browse to it and press '<'.
If you are done with that "category", you can mark the whole thread with
'<ESC>t' and move it with a simple ';C' to some other maildir...
