I have never tried putting regular IMAP mailboxes into a smart

I don't see why. Suppose I have a IMAP mailbox called TopLevel, which
contains SecondLevel1, SecondLevel2, and SecondLevel3, and
SecondLevel1 contains ThirdLevel1 and ThirdLevel2. How can I set up a
smart mailbox which contains only, say, the emails which are inside
SecondLevel3 or ThirdLevel2? Or for that matter, how can I set up a
smart mailbox which contains all the emails in TopLevel and its
nested sub-mailboxes?
I believe that the key is that no source mailboxes are selected and
no conditions are set for the mailbox with that checkbox set.
Sorry, I don't understand this. Could you clarify?
Some of the terms used in MailMate can be confusing: Mailbox can be
both a folder and an account.
Yes, it is confusing, although I think I'd worked it out. Might it not
be an idea for everyone to carefully differentiate, and refer to a
'Mailbox' or an 'Account', both in discussions and in the documentation?
One of the less well documented features are "dumb" folders: these are
simply used as containers for smart mailboxes. For example: I have one
called "Contacts" that contains various smart mailboxes for various
people. But the same could be true for a company or a project.
Sometimes you might want to be able to see all the e-mail contained in
the sub-folders at the top-level and that is where the switch is
useful.
Thanks. I think I understand what you're saying but I still don't see
how it solves what seems to me a very basic problem. In my example
above, it is possible to have one smart mailbox which shows all and only
the messages in, say, SecondLevel1, ThirdLevel1 and Thirdlevel2?
