This doesn't seem to be true in my case. Here is my mailbox setup:

````
Deleted Messages
|_Smart Mailbox 1 [Filters for email at example.com]
   |_Smart Mailbox 2 [Filters for messages received not within the last 
14 days]
     |_Rule [Permanently deletes messages received not within the last 
14 days]

````

If I understand correctly, when a message enters Smart Mailbox 2 on day 
15 the rule should delete it. Am I misunderstanding or do I have the 
rule logic wrong?
