[MlMt] Feature request: 'Smart' Move to mailbox

[Jolin Warren]

I was also a heavy user of MailHub and loved the way it usually knew 
which mailbox I wanted to file a message to. (Incidentally, the 
‘Preside’ email client on iOS also does this well.) I second the 
request, it would be great to have this feature in Mailmate.

In the meantime, one thing that makes filing relatively easy even 
without the prediction is that Mailmate learns the keys you type to 
select a mailbox in the ‘Move to Mailbox’ window, so after filing 
messages for a few days you will probably find that you can select a 
mailbox with only one or two keys, so it’s pretty quick.
