Weird Mail Rules issue
Harry, I don't have an answer. Just want to add that I am having the exact same problem. I made a rule for all messages with macvisionaries@googlegroups.com in either their to, cc, bcc or reply to field. Most go into my mac visionaries folder, but not all. I don't know if some are duplicates in other folders, or that they were simply not caught by the rule when they came in. It could be that mail itself, filters its important messages over to the important mailbox, even before it applies our rules. I hope someone will chime in on this if they have a solution. Paul.

Re: Weird Mail Rules issue
Hi Harry, First, the All Mail thing from GMail is just there, it's something from Google and, as far as I can tell, you can't do anything about it. So, I just ignore its existence. Now, for your other issue, if the GMail Mailbox/InBox is selected when you create a new mailbox, the folder will be placed in the top level of that mailbox unless you tell it otherwise upon creation.
