Just to confirm that this works. And it also works on Smart Folders (the 
way i'm doing it since I already had the Smart Folder and need to filter 
message age, unread status, flaggeds, etc.) I'm not sure when the Rules 
are being triggered with the Smart Folder but I can see that messages 
appear on the Export folder by themselves without me checking the Smart 
Folder or even focusing MailMate, which is surprising but welcomed.
