Assuming a sub-mailbox shows a subset of its parent’s messages, that 
implies the sub-mailbox will automatically reflect any changes in the 
parent due to rules that were applied in the parent. The rule will not 
be re-applied in the sub-mailbox, basically because it’s already been 
applied.

I believe MailMate defines Correspondent is the union of the To, From, 
and CC fields. I’m not sure how that works in the search criteria.
