Multiple conditions intelligent mailbox ...

Hi,

I send many email that I would like to TRASH when sent instead of placing them in the SENT mailbox. Rules does not seem to let me manage outgoing email.

I want to delete email sent to 3 specific addresse. Is there a way of creating a single intelligent mailbox that would select 3 specific addresse from my sent mailbox ? Better, am I wrong when saying that rules does not help me manage outgoing emails ?

Regards.

Rules are automatically applied to incoming messages or when you select messages and Mail > Message > Apply Rules

You could create a smart mailbox with the criteria of the 3 accounts and the sent mailbox. This would give you an easier list to select all/ delete.

Hi Captfred ... By creating a smart mailbox with 4 conditions (3 addresse and the mailbox to use), I have to use the APPLY TO ANY condition. When doing that selected messages do not restric to the SENT mailbox even if it is specified in the conditions.

It seems that I will have to create a smart mailbox for each addresse ...

Another possiblitiy is to not save any sent mail, set the option in Composing to always CC yourself. Then you have an incoming email of all sent. The rules would then apply, move all mail from you where you're CC'd to a new "sent" mailbox except those 3 addresses.

Ok, it's like chasing your tail..
