Benny,

You got the idea right !

The reason I used the smart mailbox is because it gave me a degree in freedom


The Rule as I use it now:

        [From] [is in] [Mailbox_Source] [From]
        [Move to Mailbox] [Mailbox_Target]

example:

        [From] [is in] [Info ▸ Marketing_Confirmed] [From]
        [Move to Mailbox] [Info ▸ Marketing_Auto]
Please do note that I do not move to the Mailbox_Source because this allows me to see what has been add recently. I think I could achieve an identical result by tagging the "fresh" mails before moving and untagging them after verification ( or vice versa ), which is "easier" for you to implement. :-))

I think GUI-wise the "new-move" version could look like this

        [From] [is in] [Mailbox/SmartMailbox] [From]

[Generic Move to first matched Source Mailbox of] [Mailbox/SmartMailbox]
        or
        [Dynamic Move to first matched Source of]  [Mailbox/SmartMailbox]
        or
        [Fuzzy Move to Source of]  [Mailbox/SmartMailbox]
        

Just some ideas and have a nice WE,



Marc

I’m looking for a more generic solution, with less need to write a rule for every similar condition

Something like:

if sender/rule_condition of email is in SmartMailbox ( which might “contain” number of mailboxes )

You mean that the messages in the smart mailbox could be located in any number of IMAP mailboxes?

        move email to source_mailbox where sender/rule_condition was found

As in:

Move to Mailbox [IMAP mailbox of first matched message in SmartMailbox]

This could help us to “sort/archive” automatically marketing emails, mails of a certain sender, etc . . .

I think I understand the problem and I also think it would be a nice addition to the “is in” comparison method.

Unfortunately, implementation-wise it's non-trivial. The information about matching messages in the SmartMailbox is “lost” long before reaching the point of rule actions and it's also not quite obvious how the GUI for such a feature should work.

I'll think about this, but right now I don't see any simple way to do it.
