While you can manually configure this in MailMate, you may not be able to do so with your Smartphone client. It would be ideal to have MailMate, your Smartphone app and your WebMail use the same folders, but this is not always the case and depends on the configurability of your webmail/smartphone client. The other thing to sort out would be filtering. My WebMail offers good filtering and so does MailMate, provided MailMate is pretty much always running on one of my machines. So whatever filtering I can do using my WebMail interface, I'll do. The other, more sophisticated filtering, I'll do with MailMate and try to keep it running most of the time.

When I tried to edit the rule today, I noticed that there is no comparison operator. So, e.g., the rule now reads “Date Relative” “is” “14 days ago,” when I really want “if relative date is = 14 days ago” since the rule clearly isn’t always getting triggered when a message is moved into the destination mailbox (by another rule attached to the Smart Mailbox). I just did something similar and wonder if it would work that way for you. I would do it the following way: - create a smart folder that scans your inbox. - under 'Conditions' tab, create rules that will further define the messages to include in the Smart Folder. You would need to include one that matches messages to the list, as well as one that restricts the dates. I find the date restrictions are more flexible under the 'Conditions' filtering as opposed to the 'Rules' filtering. What you effectively do is create conditions that will make the Smart Mailbox display only those old messages you wish to move. - under 'Rules', create a rule that moves all messages to where you wish to store the old list messages.

But I need to have most messages saved in specific folders, not just generically archived, so that I can find them when I'm not using MailMate. Can Move to Mailbox… be made available? (And, huh, Go to Mailbox is also unavailable, though that's less critical in this context.) I see what you mean and agree. The ⌥⌘-T shortcut for moving the message doesn't work either. In my preferred workflow, I'd open a message in a separate window, read it, move it to the appropriate mailbox (or archive or delete it), and the next message in the folder would open (in its separate window) as the moved (or archived or deleted) one disappeared. Next best would be if the moved one remained visible in its existing window, so that I can just hit whatever key I've bound to next message and have it appear. The latter is what happens if I archive a message that's displayed in a separate window. Not only that, but after archiving, I can't navigate to another message using the ⌘-(↑/↓) keys. There are no toolbar buttons either. A lot here seem to love a key-shortcut driven workflow/navigation. I personally do a combination and while reading alone, I tend to use my magic mouse to select messages and scroll. I think (haven't fully investigated) that these all behave as I'd want if I have the message open in a pane of the main window, but honestly I never want to do that, and don't understand the format's popularity. I often want to refer to several messages at once! Plus I use Witch to access windows from the keyboard, so I always want everything in individual windows, not panes or tabs. The popularity I guess is based on one being able to see the message list while viewing message bodies. Also, I personally have grown unaccustomed to using many windows. Horses for courses really, and after doodling, I don't think your type of workflow has been optimised in MailMate. For me, needing to have more than one message open in a window is too infrequent to justify an always-separate message-view-window approach to my workflow.
