True, and MailMate's smart folder feature is indeed a thing of beauty. 
However, after twenty years of using and dealing with email, of having 
loved Eudora until it expired, of having been forced to use Outlook 
under various flavors of Windows, of having used Apple Mail until its 
integration with Gmail broke horribly, and finally having moved my mail 
from Gmail to a personal host with MailMate as my primary (but not 
unique) mail access program, I'm not willing to file my mail in such a 
way that *only* MailMate will be able to intelligently retrieve it for 
me. My mail client must be smart enough to file my mail where I can find 
it without the use of my preferred mail client. And so I depend on 
rules.
