You mean that the messages in the smart mailbox could be located in any 
number of IMAP mailboxes?

As in:

	Move to Mailbox [IMAP mailbox of first matched message in SmartMailbox]

I think I understand the problem and I also think it would be a nice 
addition to the “is in” comparison method.

Unfortunately, implementation-wise it's non-trivial. The information 
about matching messages in the SmartMailbox is “lost” long before 
reaching the point of rule actions and it's also not quite obvious how 
the GUI for such a feature should work.

I'll think about this, but right now I don't see any simple way to do 
it.
