I agree.

Hi Florian, all this can be done already using filters.
In fact I store my messages the way you propose.
For every account, just setup a filter which matches From, To and CC
(or maybe Received) which contains the account address and move the
matching messages to a dedicated folder for that account.
The assumptions I use to make this system work are:
- These "personal mail" filters come after filters for mail coming
from mailing lists.
- It is very unlikely that the same mail is sent to more than one
of my accounts at the same time.
