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?
Yes, that was what I didn’t understand.
Thanks.
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...
