[MlMt] Rules missing in MailMate?

Hello all,

Ran into an issue with Rules today. It's been awhile since I've added new Rules for sorting within MailMate, and I believe the UI may have changed in the interim, so my apologies in advance if I'm simply overlooking something.

I'm using MailMate version 2.0 (6291).

I use Rules to add Tags to particular messages as they arrive, usually based on text in the email subject field. A few Smart Mailboxes then display messages depending on which Tags have been assigned.

Here's my issue:

Today when I go to Mailbox > Edit Rules and click on the Rules icon in the upper-right corner of the window, I'm presented with a "Create Rule..." button, but don't see any of the previous Rules I've created. This is true regardless of which Mailbox or Source is selected in the lefthand menu.

The Smart Mailbox settings are all present, just not the Rules.

I know that the previous Rules I added are all still working, because my messages continue to get automatically tagged as they arrive.

I discovered this while going to create a new rule, and I'm hesitant to add it for fear of overwriting the other (hidden) ones. Perhaps I've stumbled upon a bug, or something is corrupt in my local settings?

Jack
