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
