Gmail does not work for me.

As someone in IT I get some number of automated messages (e.g., cron). With Gmail all I can do is tag them and have a "folder" / view of just those tagged messages. But they also pollute my Archive 'folder' as well.

But I do not want them there, because they are not a priority generally, and they pollute search results.

I want an actual separate folder to file these messages in that is out of the way so as not to pollute the rest of the namespace.

You could tag them with a special label (e.g. "ignored"), and then append "-label:ignored" to your searches.
