<div style="font-family:sans-serif"><div style="white-space:normal"><p dir="auto">MailMate’s smart folders are really just a clever ways to sort and view your messages. They are, in effect, virtual folders that are only visible within your local MailMate environment. However, MailMate is an IMAP email client (instead of POP) and the IMAP system supports the creation of real folders on the mail server side. Using IMAP folders, you can change the organization of messages on the server, and the folders will be accessible via any IMAP mail client, not just MailMate (for example, if you read email with an IMAP-capable mobile app, you’ll see these folders there as well).</p>
<p dir="auto">To create an IMAP folder in MailMate, go to the “Sources” section at the lower left of your main mail window, then right-click on your IMAP account (probably the domain name of your email provider) and select [New IMAP Mailbox in “YOUR-ACCOUNT”…] from the popup menu. This will instantly create a new folder labeled “Unnamed” at the bottom of your list of mail folders. Click on the name to rename the folder, then drag the folder to reposition it at a suitable spot in your list of folders. You can drag any existing message into (or out of) this folder. It’s a real, permanent folder, which can also have new “smart” folders created within it if you like.</p>
<p dir="auto">You can create one or more rules to automatically move messages from your INBOX as they are received directly into an IMAP folder. This may make it easier to keep messages sorted correctly. You just need to remember to check for new messages in your other IMAP folders. Once you configure some INBOX rules, you can right-click on the INBOX folder name, then select [Apply Rules of “INBOX”] to move existing messages according to your rules.</p>

There are some large groups of emails relevant to my research that defy my attempts to capture their characteristics within the smart mailbox descriptors (diverse senders, content, headers, etc., within each research project). I would like to create a set of “non-smart” mailboxes and simply drag & drop each email into one of those mailboxes whenever it arrives in my inbox & I’ve responded to it. I’ve been unable to find out how to do this. Is it possible in MailMate, and if so would someone let me know how to do it (or where to find the instructions)? Thank you for your help!
