This doesn't make any sense to me. Perhaps I'm just not understanding what you're trying to say. Also, perhaps it's different between SM 1.1.X and SM 2.0. In SM 1.1.X, you create message filters. They are created for the account, not for a mailbox. You create them on the account and they run automatically on messages downloaded to the Inbox from your mail source. You can *also* run the filter(s) on any other mailbox you choose, but this must be done manually.
