[MlMt] How to *move* messages out of Inbox (or emulate such a behavior)?

[Dave C]

New user here…

I’ve got the hang of smart folders and the ones I’ve created now 
contain messages from mail lists (I’m subscribed to several).

My goal is to have an Inbox that has none of these mail list messages 
and only contains the remainder of the day’s mail, mostly personal 
mail and junk.

I understand that the purpose of smart folders is to mirror messages to 
those folders without actually moving them. How can I achieve my goal of 
having the Inbox (or maybe another smart folder named “MyInbox”?) 
not contain the messages that are visible in the smart folders?

Any suggestions?

(Presume I know very little about how to use MailMate and we’ll both 
communicate very efficiently. (c;   )

Thanks
Dave
