Re: [MlMt] Inbox vs All Messages
I haven't checked everything in the manual but this is perhaps what you are referring to The first mailbox in the mailbox outline, “All Messages”, contains all messages in your IMAP account(s) except those in the designated mailboxes for deleted messages or messages marked as junk. Yes, indeed, that was what I was referring to. My interpretation of this is that All Messages contains all messages in the IMAP account(s) except deleted and junk (as it says in the manual). In other words, if you only have one account (as an example) and have created N number of mailboxes for that mail account then All Messages will contain the messages stored in those mailboxes also. Inbox will only contain the messages stored in the designated incoming mailbox. That seems to be generally true. However, one of my accounts has an Inbox with several submailboxes (subinboxes), where some incoming mails are diverted by the rules on the server. The messages in those submailboxes are not shown in All Messages and not in Inbox. I can see them only when selecting the Source. While investigating this, I noticed that - I can designate any mailbox on the server as one of the standard types except as inbox. - Since Inbox is not in the list of mailbox types, I can’t see if a given mailbox has no type or is Inbox.

For example, one Outlook account I use has a mailbox called Clutter, which is also of type Inbox and is shown by MM together with Outlook’s Inbox (which is fine).

Re: [MlMt] Inbox vs All Messages
So what is the difference between All Messages and Inbox? Send Messages, Drafts, Archive? It would be nice if those differences were explicitly mentioned in the documentation.

[MlMt] Inbox vs All Messages
I have a smart mailbox which is set to show messages sent to, cc, bcc, from, resent-from a specific domain. When I set it to check Inbox (in the Mailboxes tab), I see 2867 messages. When I set it to check All Messages, I see 3121 messages. However, when I see it to check the source, I see 3157 messages. I expected All Messages to show me more messages than source, because it should include messages that I sent to users in that domain from my other accounts. The source includes messages in trash and spam mail. I expected All Messages to include those as well. Apparently, All does not really mean all.
