Rules are applied whenever something enters a mailbox including when 
moving the emails into the mailbox.

The emails still being displayed in the mailbox sounds like a bug -- 
possibly related to what I refer to as “sticky” messages. This is 
needed, e.g., in the Unread mailbox when marking a message as read 
(where most users would expect the email to stay in the mailbox until 
leaving it -- even though it's no longer unread).

That does look very strange. Does it persist if you relaunch MailMate?

If it doesn't, can you reproduce the problem by, e.g., moving a single 
message back into your Inbox?
