When I'm cleaning up my mailbox (with mutt), I usually sort by sender or
subject, skim the list and hit "d" on deletable messages. That's "mark".
After this, I type "$" and all marked messages are deleted. That's
"gather", or something like that.

The idea is to make manual tagging easy, so you don't have to
pre-plan naming conventions and what not else ...
