Perhaps if you describe a specific task you want to accomplish with
smart folders, we can lead you through it.
For instance, I made one to throw a particularly galling kind of spam
(that SpamSieve can't catch) in the trash so I never see it:
After creating a Smart Mailbox, and right-clicking to choose Edit:
Tab 1: Mailboxes:
-- I chose ANY and chose the INBOXes of two accounts that received the
problematic spam
Tab 2: Conditions:
-- These are global conditions. I chose ANY and used the following
patterns
----- Any Address > Domain / is
----- Unquoted Body Text / contains
----- Subject / contains
and pasted in the text to match, mostly street addresses for the outfit
that constantly changed.
Tab 3: Submailboxes:
I'm throwing stuff in the trash here, so there's nothing in the Smart
Mailbox, but if I were collecting, for instance, mail from workmates, I
could click SUBMAILBOX FOR EACH UNIQUE VALUE OF, and choose an
appropriate value (name, e-mail address, whatever) to sort the contents.
This is good for your JUNK folder also, because I for my main email
address I like to check the Junk from time to time (it doesn't get
much), but I don't want to wade through junk for other accounts.
Tab 4: Rules
Here I clicked the plus sign and chose:
-- Move to mailbox / Deleted Messages ("Move to Trash")
-- Set Tag / Seen ("Mark as Read")
The Smart Mailboxes feature is so powerful and Byzantine that you often
just have to ask Bennie here or by e-mail if some specific task can be
done, and he'll say yes or no.
