I've switched from thunderbird to KMail partly for the reasons you've 
mentioned about being flooded with uninteresting emails. In Lmail you can set 
it to ignore certain threads and alert you to new emails in other 'watched' 
threads. You could probably make a pop rule to avoid even downloading the 
threads you don't want.

I'd recommend the change, I'm much happier with Kmail now (running in Gnome 
by-the-way)
