Ah ! There is one more.

I do use `rmail-automatic-folder-directives' and friends. That's
perfect and it forces me to read each messages.

I agree. This is also why I switched from MUA to MUA (gnus, m4e,
notmuch, mh-e, etc..) Too many features that I rarely used.

There is one feature I'd like to see in Rmail: a kind of rmail-summary
conversation-like display -i.e. like M-C-t but with part of the
conversation instead of the repetition of subjects/topics.

Alex Schroeder wrote something like that some years ago but it just
doesn't work anymore. That would probably need some adaptations to run
in current Rmail version.
