Are you sure the mailbox is not also based on the mailbox you are moving 
messages to?

No, I don't think so.

Hmm, I hadn't really given this much thought. Messages matching a smart 
mailbox based on a date condition are not going to be triggered if the 
date is reached while MailMate is closed. That might not be easily 
solved without changing rules to be applied (if conditions match) to all 
messages on startup. I'll give it some thought, but I think the solution 
is also a solution to another problem (having to create a separate smart 
mailbox for certain types of conditions/rules).
