However, what is the difference between the Conditions section and
the conditions created in the Rules section?
The Conditions section affects what you see in the mailbox. For
example, I have a smart mailbox that includes every message that has
"MailMate Users" or "freron.com" somewhere in the To: field AND is not
in the Trash. When I click on it, I see all the messages to and from
this list or from Benny in one place.
Does it have the same effect on a physical mailbox as on a virtual/smart
one?
How do you select messages that are not deleted?
The Rules section affects what happens to messages when they arrive in
the mailbox. The conditions there specify which messages these actions
should apply to. Rules (not Submailboxes) is where you control
messages being moved to other IMAP folders.
Do you need to duplicate the rules for each account or each Inbox?
I'm guessing Submailboxes lets you create default rules for either
moving mail or virtual mailboxes, but I haven't tried it.
Submailboxes are like filters that show you only the messages in a
mailbox that meet the criteria. For example, the main Inbox folder may
have a submailbox for each account that you have, so that you can
click on a submailbox to see only the messages that are in the Inbox
for each account. The Mailings Lists smart folder has a submailbox for
each mailing list that you subscribe to.
Also, what are the various specifiers for rule conditions (e.g.,
'Received' has six, one of which has two sub ones)? I've been
picking "No Specifier" but would like to what what they are.
I'm having trouble finding "Received," but in general, the various
specifiers are all the possible parts of an email message that are
specified by the official design documents (RFCs) for the email
standard. They are not well documented and that's something I've asked
about too.
