If using email (as opposed to webmail) your email client might be able 
to help with this.

I would not be dealing with  any digital statements if I were dependent 
on finding them in the "in box". But all that appears in my inbox folder 
are incoming mails from senders for whom I have not written a message 
filter rule.

In other words, I have statements (and other emails) from business 
entity XYZ? Then I have a email folder  XYZ and a rule that sends emails 
from XYZ to the XYZ folder (so they appear as new emails THERE and not 
buried among the new emails in the inbox folder. Same with vendors with 
whom I do business. Frequently, then their own folder, rarely, the the 
misc vendors folder. Ditto for organizations. These folders in a logical 
tree structure, high level folders like vendors, charities, orgs, etc.

If your mail client can't do this, you probably should try a different 
mail client. Should also provide for individual folder retention, 
marking to ignore that, etc.
