In the meantime, you can do what I do and use procmail to sort the
lists into separate folders: my .procmailrc looks like this:

:0:
* ^TOkde@lists\.netcentral\.net
procmail-in/kde
:0:
* ^TOgnome-list@gnome\.org
procmail-in/gnome
:0:
* ^TOgnome-components-list@gnome\.org
procmail-in/gnome-components
:0:
* ^TOguile@cygnus\.com
procmail-in/guile
:0:
* ^TOsane-devel@mostang\.com
procmail-in/sane

... and so on for each list; then just use "Add new mailbox" to create a
Balsa mailbox for each of the above mail files.
