A smart mailbox only displays messages that meat a certain criteria
that you set up. It's sort of like a message rule, but it doesn't move
the messages to that folder, it just displays the messages from the
Inbox, or whatever folder you specify, that meat the filtering. It
works in a similar way to smart playlists in iTunes or smart folders
in Finder.

Now what exactly's the difference in a smart mailbox from a regular
mailbox?

yes, you can either create a smart mailbox or a regular mailbox and
set a
rule.

By creating a folder in mail, do you actually mean a mailbox?

Yes, this is good practice. to amuse yourself, you can also
create a
folder
in mail and set a rule to have receipts go directly to that tfolder.

Wow, I really feel good about myself now. With no help at all,
and no
cheating from my Windows box, I just went up to PayPal, and
withdrew $10
from my account, and transfered it to my bank account that I have
attached
to PayPal. Then, I went in the finder to my home folder, and made
a sub
folder under it called receipts. I then went and opened Mail,
found the
message that stated my transaction, copied it, went over into Text
Edit,
pasted it in a file, and then saved it into my receipts folder.
Boy do I
feel good! That was really good practice, being that I really
have only
kind a tinkered around with my Mac. I never've really tried doing
anything
yet quite that drawn out. I'm not saying it was hard, it's just
I've
never
been that good at saving files, or copying and pasting on the
Mac. I
think
I am slowly but surely beginning to get the hang of it though.
Chris.
