I've a Thunderbird here... Under the Tools menu is a "Message Filters" 
entry; seems to let you make per-account filters.

There is also a "Create filter from message..." entry under the 
"Message" menu.

I consider them very similar too. Yea, even unto plugging a crude 
usenet<->email facility into my mutt at one point (fetch from usenet, 
save as email with "from: news.group.name at usenet", use a script for 
"sendmail" and intercept "news.group.name at usenet" and delivery via 
usenet).
