is rumored to have said:
I don’t understand why SMBOX-2; simply apply the delete rule to the
SMBOX-1. Why is that a bad idea?
It never gets triggered then.
My suspicion is that this is an off-by-one error in either the
definition of the mailbox or the rule such that messages are being added
to the mailbox before they are old enough for the rule. The method
relies on messages already being too old at the moment that they reach
the age which puts them in the deleting mailbox.

What are you actually seeing happen at Rule 2? Perhaps there is some
relationship between the Rules that is missing. Can you be more
specific on the settings, pls.
The code formatting seems to not have come through.
"Smart Mailbox 2" is a sub-mailbox of "Smart Mailbox 1" and "Rule" is
attached to "Smart Mailbox 2".
I would expect for "Smart Mailbox 2" to always be empty because any
messages that fall into it would be deleted by the rule (i.e., a
message is 15-days old and falls into "Smart Mailbox 2" and the rule
evaluates the message and permanetly deletes it). However, that is
not the case for me. Messages older than 14 days appear in "Smart
Mailbox 2" and is never deleted by the rule.
