<p dir="auto">I've tried to get the syntax right, but it doesn't work for me. As a test, I created a rule in the global Drafts mailbox that checks if any address contains either of the first two addresses I know are no longer good, and if so, plays a sound (since the mailbox rule facility doesn't have an action to display a message). That works. I tried to find the file that has this rule in it so I can copy the syntax, but I can't find it. I've used grep and other search tools to find all files under ~/Library/Application Support/MailMate that ends in .plist and has the first known bad address in it, but the only file that shows up is the messageVerifications.plist I'm trying to get right.</p>

<p dir="auto">I would expect it to be in the Mailboxes.plist (that’s where the definitions of smart folders appear for me). From a quick glance at mine, the field to look at for the condition syntax is labelled 'filter' in there -- this corresponds to the 'Conditions' tab in the smart mailbox editor.</p>

<p dir="auto">Comparing that with my messageVerifications.plist file (which is working for me!) and the example in the MailMate manual, I think what you have for ‘conditions’ might be too complex… I think it is just supposed to be a single string, rather than a nested structure, so to represent the two conditions in your case I think you’d have to put something like:</p>
<pre style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:5px 5px 5px 5px; margin-left:15px; margin-right:15px; max-width:90vw; overflow-x:auto; padding:5px" bgcolor="#F7F7F7"><code style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:3px; margin:0; padding:0" bgcolor="#F7F7F7">conditions = "(#recipient.address = 'address1@example1' or #recipient.address = 'address2@example2')";

<p dir="auto">Thank you. I found the filter rule I had created for the global Drafts smart mailbox in the Mailboxes.plist file (no idea why it didn't show up when grepping or using search utilities) and simply copied the string, replacing "filter" with "conditions" as you said, and now it works. Thanks again, I appreciate it.</p>
