Further explanation:
Messages in the Inbox that have rules to move it to a mailbox are
staying in the Inbox, even if apply rules is invoked. Or only the most
recent is moved from the inbox to its respective mailbox
“Apply rules” is sometimes greyed out in the contextual menu for
the Inbox.
What’s up?
From the "Organize" page of the MailMate Help, which you can find by
searching that help file for "Apply Rules":
Rules
You can add rules to any mailbox. Each rule is a set of conditions and
a set of actions. Rules are only triggered when a message is added to
a mailbox which most often happens when a new message arrives in an
account. You can apply rules to the selected messages of a mailbox by
using “Mailbox ▸ Apply Rules”.
In other words: if you have no messages *selected* (i.e. you've only
selected the mailbox) then the Apply Rules menu item will be grayed out
because it has nothing to act on. If you want to have the current rules
applied to all of the messages already in a mailbox, you need to select
all of those messages.mailboxes
Does that help?
Don't expect to be able to select multiple mailboxes to get an aggregate
message list and be able to select from that list and use Apply Rules,
because it will be grayed. Apparently Benny (wisely, IMHO) didn't want
to pick one of the many possibly logical ways to handle the unions
and/or intersections of rulesets that may or may not exist (and may
conflict) in multiple mailboxes of disparate types and associated with
different accounts where some of the selected messages might exist in
both one real and one or more smart mailboxes, each with its own
ruleset.
THAT was probably more confusing than helpful...
