Some of the terms used in MailMate can be confusing: Mailbox can be both 
a folder and an account.

One of the less well documented features are "dumb" folders: these are 
simply used as containers for smart mailboxes. For example: I have one 
called "Contacts" that contains various smart mailboxes for various 
people. But the same could be true for a company or a project. Sometimes 
you might want to be able to see all the e-mail contained in the 
sub-folders at the top-level and that is where the switch is useful.
