Hi Rachel, That one I know, because I had the same question 2 days ago. A smart mailbox is just a way to group messages together. Say you have a giant inbox, but you only want to see the messages from your class mate because he sends you useful attachments. Then, you can create a smart mailbox. All messages you select will appear there, but a smart mailbox is meant to just do that. It shows your selected messages, as if no other ones were present in your inbox. Deleting a message from the smart mailbox deletes it from inbox and vice versa.
If you want to move email out of your inbox, over to another mailbox, then make it a normal one. Create new mailbox. Not a smart one. Then, go to mail preferences, command comma, and go to the rules tab. This is an item in the toolbar of mail preferences that you can click. That is the place to create a new message rule. If the following criteria are met, is the first item It is followed by a scroll area. Interact, and fill in the criteria. From: a special person. Or to: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com. Etc. Then stop interacting, move on, and fill in what should happen, once a matching message is found. Move it to the following mailbox: and there you have a pop up button, from which you select your newly created, normal, non smart mailbox. From then on, new messages that match will be moved to your new mailbox because of the message rule. Hth, Paul.
