The filter I've set labels and archives automatically. So at no point
of time are there any ruby-talk mails in my Inbox.

It really doesn't make a difference if you auto-archive them. Try it
and see. You can always click on the label links to get to see the
labelled mails although they have been archived. And the interface
provides visualisation of which conversations have been read and which
haven't among these archived mails.

I guess you have not set the ruby-talk filter to autoarchive. Try it.
You lose nothing but the clutter in your Inbox.
