The latter is only applied to new emails in the Inbox. You would almost 
never want to add rules to the account since these are triggered 
whenever something is moved into any mailbox within the account.

They are also applied when mail arrives in the mailbox. And when moving 
something to Sent Messages, etc. You don't want this.

The “Apply Rules” menu item should always be able to apply the rules 
of the currently selected mailbox to the selected messages or the entire 
mailbox.

Drag'n'drop (or copy/paste) is unfortunately not yet supported.

The only way is to edit this file when MailMate is not running:

	/Applications/MailMate.app/Contents/MacOS/MailMate
