In addition to the other reply I'd just like to point out a limitation 
in MailMate: Rule conditions are only checked when a message is 
“added” to a mailbox (any kind of mailbox). This means that 
date-based conditions do not work well. The workaround is to create a 
date-based smart mailbox instead and then have an action-only rule on 
that. When the date is reached then the message is “added” to the 
mailbox and the rule is triggered. (But this only happens if MailMate is 
open when the date condition is reached. It's ok if the machine is 
sleeping. The rule is then triggered when it wakes up.)
