Hi Benny,
thanks for the update! The moving works, if I select all Messages in the 
Smart Mailbox and click on Mailbox —> Apply Rules. But the Smart 
Mailbox still shows all of the messages - strange ?!

This is what I did:

I created a Smart Mailbox with the condition of not within the last 90 
days and Mailboxes Any *Ingo Lantschner* (different from the Archive 
Mailbox!). This Smart Mailbox was filled immediately after creation with 
the expected messages. Then I added a rule to that Smart Mailbox with a 
similar condition and an action of moving to an other mailbox.

Nothing happens. Mailbox —> Apply Rules moved the messages from *Ingo 
Lantschner* to *Archive*. But they are still visible in the Smart 
Mailbox.

Any idea whey they are still visible?

Is there a way to move the messages lets say once a day, or if I open 
MailMate?

Kind regards, Ingo
