This is correct. I found out the latter was not a good thing. I was 
playing with conditions of a smart mailbox with a rule to move messages 
to the trash and I accidentally moved all INBOX messages to the trash (I 
recovered the old state although it would be nice with Inbox Zero :-) ). 
In the latest test version I've changed it such that changing a smart 
mailbox does not trigger the rules of the mailbox.
