Are there better ways to base a smart mailbox on a single IMAP mailbox 
other than having the same routing rule?

The problem I have with all smart mailboxes is when I look at my inbox, 
I can’t easily sort out what’s only in the inbox and what’s also 
in a smart mailbox. That makes more work and less clarity for me. I want 
the app to do that work. How do folks deal with this problem?

Also, junk sorting isn’t working. Spamsieve keeps un-enabling itself. 
Problem with a trial version?

Thank you Benny,
