Re: smart mailbox question
Think about smart mailboxes as instant SpotLight searches and you shouldn't have too many problems. For example, if you have the unread flag in the Smart mailbox and then you read the message you really don't want that message to instantly disappear from the mailbox do you? So I believe the behaviour is that it will search when you first activate the box, but any new messages will not jump into the smartbox automatically. So if you are always looking for mail from Jenny since she usually has the right answers, then a smart mailbox might be the way to go. I have been making a Interresting People group in my addressbook that I plan on using as a input to a smart mailbox. Then I can see what all these folks are up to even when I am way behind on my active mail reading. I'll let everybody know how that goes.

Re: smart mailbox question
The easiest way to move items to a mailbox is to create a rule. Just remember that you can enter more than one criteria per rule. For example, I have a MacVisionary rule that moves everything from this list serve into a MacVisionary mailbox. The first criteria is: Subject contains MacVisionary. The I added From Contains Macvisionary. This system also works for my I Phone list. I had to add From and then Subject and the Message contains IPhone before I caught all of the incoming mail and routed them to the correct mailbox. And if first you don't succeed, go back and modify your rule until you get it right.

Re: smart mailbox question
Hi, Ok, call me stupid if you want, but i've never gotten the hang of everything smart on the Mac. When you create a smart mailbox, you are given a lot of criteria for what should be shown in that mailbox, right? If so, there shouldn't be any need for also making a rule with the same searching criteria to filter mails to a smart mail box that also has these rules, right? Or what am i missing here? I have also tried to make smart mailboxes for everything mac related, but my rules aren't good enough apparently because nothing comes through as it should. Either nothing goes in the smart box, or too much unrelated goes there, so i've given up this smart thing alltogether, for me, it just doesn't work. /Krister 7 jul 2009 kl. 21.29 skrev Simon Cavendish: Dear Eliza, You set rules under Mail preferences which you access either through the menu bar under Mail, or by using the shortcut key command+comma. Then by interacting with the toolbar you can choose rules. In there, provided you have already created a mailbox to which you have given the names, you can set up the rule, like for isntance, if a mail comes from the address in To field, move it to the mailbox name.

Re: smart mailbox question
Also, I tried just making a rule for putting everything list-related in a separate regular mailbox, and nothing went there, either. Am I doomed to have a clogged inbox?
