Just to be clear I don't advocate using smart mailboxes for everything. 
Anything you can match with a smart mailbox can also be matched with a 
rule (filter) in MailMate followed by a “move” action (as described 
in another answer to this post).

Note that using MailMate rules to move emails to another mailbox is 
always the second-best solution. If the server has any support for 
filtering emails then this is much better if you have multiple devices 
and/or email clients. There's also subtle caveats to look out for: For 
example, if two installs of MailMate have the same rule to move emails 
then there might be a race condition which could result in duplicate 
emails being generated in the destination mailbox.
