[MlMt] Compound "is in" rule ... ?

[Henry Seiden]

Hi Robert,

The concept you’re going for seems workable with M-M Rules, but I 
haven’t had reason to do it.

The example you give seems to ultimately make a mailbox for a specific 
“file cabinet” related to three things (all the “AND” 
statements), so you start with a rule sorting unique subjects and 
another rule that sorts by sender. These could be separate rules or 
concatenated ones. The co-dependence issues will determine if you really 
need multiple folders or not. Seems to me you don’t in MailMate.

With those hints, I’ll leave you to it. Good Luck.

Respectfully,

Henry Seiden
