It did.

   (1) when mail is read, file it "appropriately", based perhaps on an
   association list using some regexps (easily user-modifiable), and

I would suggest trying the "vm" mail reading package.  It has the ability
to file messages based upon regexp matching within the message headers.

   (2) allow the user to find out which of his or her mail files contain unread
   messages.

Do you mean the messages would be filed before they were read the first
time?
