Is there a way to filter address book groups (mailing lists) to folders?

I have folders in Gmail for work, personal, business, etc, and my contacts are all members of related groups. Or I can set up mailing lists in Thunderbird that are similar. I want to make a filter that has a command "if sender is member of XXX group, moves XXX folder." Other mail clients allow me to do so. Can Thunderbird?

Thanks for the quick response. I love the service you offer. Unfortunately, exporting OS X contacts only works as vCards for ALL the contacts. Importing them does not preserve groups. Unfortunately, Contacts Groups cannot be exported as vCards through the menu, but I found a work around:

Chose the Contacts group you want to export. Make sure all the names are selected in the group, not just the top name. Drag the Group icon to your desktop. It'll be saved as vCARD, so import that into TB. Wonderful!

This helps. Now, is there a way to copy addresses from my Mac OS X Address book to another address book I made? I want the to turn the lists in my Mac address book into address books in Thunderbird. Dragging does not work.
