???? Filters can be tricky and if you have followed past threads you will 
see that their functionality is really a measure of the operators ingenuity 
rather than preprogrammed functions. You can achieve ANYTHING with the 
right combinations.

I trust you already have filters to put your list mail into relevant folders 
so...

Say your email acct is called mymail. Make a copy of it called mymaillists 
with Exclude from 'checkmail' turned on and interval checking turned off.
On this account you should have pop filters to choose listmail for download 
and delete from server turned on (in the network tab).

So, each time you get mail from this account it will download your list mail 
and then delete it from server. Make sure you have delete mail set in the 
account and not in the pop filter which should be marking for download not 
deletion.

I say to run this manually because it should run before a general download 
using 'mymail'. But you can have it run with mail check or interval if it 
is the first (or at least before 'mymail') in the account list. There are 
no order buttons so you may need to enter all your accounts in the order 
you want (or edit the actual text config file)

There are probably easier ways, be creative.
