<p dir="auto">On Thunderbird, I have been using the "Nostalgy" plugin, which lets me write rules that automatically provide default save folders. E.g., I can have a rule that says that a message from customer of Project X that's in my work email inbox should go into folder "project X".</p>

<p dir="auto">I assume you have found the “Rules” pane in the mailbox editor. If I understand correctly you need a way to only trigger such rules when explicitly asking MailMate to do so. Like an “Auto Archive” button.</p>
<p dir="auto">One way to do that:</p>
<ul>
<li>Go to the Tags preferences pane to create an “AutoArchive” tag.</li>
<li>Create a smart mailbox based on your Inbox which has the condition that the emails must be tagged “AutoArchive”.</li>
<li>Add rules to this smart mailbox which archives the emails.</li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto">Now, whenever you need to auto archive something you'll select all emails in the Inbox (using ⌘A) and then hit <code style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:3px; margin:0; padding:0 0.4em" bgcolor="#F7F7F7">t</code> to add the “AutoArchive” tag. You can also create a custom key binding to add this tag with a single shortcut. Or use the Tag popup in the toolbar.</p>
<p dir="auto">I hope this helps.</p>
