I have the same problem. I so far used Apple Mail with a plugin called 
MailHub that offers the same functionality (suggesting filing location 
based on the location of older mails from or to the same person). Since 
I have a lot of mailboxes, I find it hard to work without this.

I love MailMate’s ‘correspondence’ layout. Basically, the 
necessary information is right there! If only the ‘Move to 
Mailbox…’ command would put the mailboxes where those other messages 
are stored on the top of the suggestion list. Is this somehow possible?

Best wishes
