No.
In Apple Contacts you can select a contact and then press the option
button and the groups a contact is part of will temporarily turn
blue and bold in the list of groups on the left of the window.
I didn't know that.
Is there something like that in MailMate? Can I suggest that or
better yet a popup contextual menu or something like that?
I see this as an easier way to make sure a message is actually
filtering into the Smart Folders I think it is supposed to. If it
was presented as a contextual list of those Smart Folders it would
allow me to easily select one that is not working correctly and edit
it.
I don't think holding down ⌥ is a good solution for MailMate, but
maybe it could be a toggle-shortcut which enables/disables the blue
color used in Contacts. I'm not sure how to name such a feature
though: “View ▸ Emphasize Related Mailboxes” ?
If this would be cheap operation that sounds good, but if not it would
be great with a hotkey to somehow hold down to highlight them....maybe
even just show the list of the folders since I got so many that I
would have to scroll to see the highlights.
Maybe Goto Related Mailbox ⌥<that other character>T
?

I agree, I mentioned Apple's contacts to show what kind of information I
was looking for. Apple's mechanism of pressing the option key is
inconvenient if you have large numbers of contact groups and does not
allow you to select a group for editing. Thus it is not the best
interface, but does crudely show the information.
I'd really like to have some kind of window pop up with the list of
Smart Folders. Right now when you click on the "Message" menu one of
the choices is "move to Mailbox..." and it brings up a window with the
list of mailboxes. I envision this as a "View Smart Mailboxes for this
Message..." menu item and bringing up a window with the list of Smart
Mailboxes with the ones the message is in being highlighted with bold
face or something. Then you can see if the message is filtering the way
you want. If it isn't. you can click on a folder you want to fix and it
brings up the Smart Folder's editing window so you can get this done
quickly.
I realize this is a suggestion and likely fairly low on the list, but
I'd really like to see this happen someday.
(Just thinking out loud -- not making any promises.)
