The simplest way I have found to create a new folder is just to use 
command shift and the letter n on the place where you want the folder.  In 
other words, if I want to create a new folder on my external drive in a folder 
called, John's Documents, I'd just have John's Documents highlighted and use 
the shift command n combination.

     I don't mess much with smart folders or smart mailboxes, but I believe you 
can basically set specific requirements as to what these folders or mailboxes 
contain.


Take Care
