I should clarify. The "smart" mailboxes I'm talking about don't have any 
special rules. Each is set up simply to show the contents of a 
particular IMAP folder, so that I can access all my mail intuitively 
using only the top part of the navigation tree. I do have more complex 
rules in some of my smarter folders, but because server-side rules take 
care of the most common and basic filtering, I don't make MailMate do 
this work. (Again, I've set it up this way because I don't have the 
luxury of MailMate in every place I access email.)
