It is a way to make a mailbox based on rules, just like a smart folder in Finder or a smart playlist in iTunes. For instance, you could group all messages from certain people into a mailbox, or all messages before a given date that contain certain words in the subject, and so on. It is sort of like message rules, except instead of taking action on the messages, it simply groups them into one mailbox. I don't use them because I prefer server-based rules, but if you use Mail on your Mac a lot and don't care about not having the same groupings on iOS or other IMAP-enabled programs, they can be very useful. In fact, iOS may sync them, I'm honestly not sure. On Jan 25, 2014, at 10:23 PM, Hope Paulos <[email protected]> wrote:
