[MlMt] newbie question about folders

[Michael Nietzold]

I think it would be better if MM use the more user-friendly terms folder and smart-folder

Everytime I have to remember that a folder in MM is a Mailbox 

Should be a gerneral switch: rename all "mailbox" to "folder"

Then setup another "rule" attached to that mailbox with no actual rules, but the settings to creates virtual submailboxes based on the sender's name. This way, you get the sorting by sender's name and the moving of the messages out of your inbox.

My suggestion is that you embrace the IMAP paradigm rather than sticking to POP style. It took me some physical effort to set all up but it was well worth it and the effort was mostly only during the initial setup. In practical terms, I suggest that you learn to use the smart mailboxes that MailMate offers and do not or only minimally use additional real folder/mailboxes in your IMAP account. A lot more power and flexibility to gain over time. Focus more on creating an optimal mail workflow than recreating your previous setup.
