The first thing I (have to) do is disable Threaded view in a newly added mailbox and the propagate that view to each folder under that mailbox. To then repeat that for new folders.

I noticed that general Spam settings (I think new), override the spam settings individually set with each mail account. I think new as it annoyed me utterly when marking mail as spam didn't move it to the spam folder. Took me a while to find that general setting, where I had even checked the settings >2

My approach hasn't changed much since the mid 90s. I have server-side rules to deliver mailing list messages to various folders. Whatever is delivered to the inbox should be intended for me personally. If it requires a response, and I can't reply immediately, I leave it in the inbox as read. When I've finished with it, I archive the message (whether a response was needed or not).
