The code formatting seems to not have come through.

"Smart Mailbox 2" is a sub-mailbox of "Smart Mailbox 1" and "Rule" is 
attached to "Smart Mailbox 2".

I would expect for "Smart Mailbox 2" to always be empty because any 
messages that fall into it would be deleted by the rule (i.e., a message 
is 15-days old and falls into "Smart Mailbox 2" and the rule evaluates 
the message and permanetly deletes it). However, that is not the case 
for me. Messages older than 14 days appear in "Smart Mailbox 2" and is 
never deleted by the rule.

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]
