I understand that the purpose of smart folders is to mirror messages to those folders without actually moving them. How can I achieve my goal of having the Inbox (or maybe another smart folder named “MyInbox”?) not contain the messages that are visible in the smart folders?

Any suggestions?

Well, INBOX is not a smart folder, so I'm not sure you can do what you're asking here without actually moving some messages somewhere; if a message is in INBOX, it's going to show in INBOX, regardless of whether it's also showing in some other smart mailbox. Perhaps someone smarter than I will correct me, but I think you'll have to move messages out of the INBOX in order to achieve what you're asking for here.

Just for the record, it is possible to do this with smart mailboxes. All mailboxes can have a set of conditions which essentially “hides” part of its contents. If you have a smart mailbox named, e.g., “Special Senders”, then you can add a condition to the Inbox which says:

        Body-Part-ID is not in [Special Senders] Body-Part-ID

I'm kind of using this myself on the universal Inbox to hide any emails related to a particular IMAP account I'm monitoring for someone else.
