Is there a way to create folders or otherwise organize my email inbox?

Damn. So close, but no go. There is no way to limit the smart mailbox to JUST the inbox without also making any other criteria mandatory as well…which means that all the emails I want from the inbox folder must have some criteria that they all share, but that the other emails in my inbox DON’T share. This is pretty impossible, unless I create long lists of rules. There’s also no way to manually add items to a smart mailbox.

Look into Mail.app’s Smart Folders. They are exactly what you are asking for – set rules up and it shows you a view of that search in a folder without moving them out of whatever folder they exist in. Rules can include things like what folder they are currently in (or not in), like INBOX.

You need to adjust your rule. Folders already exist. No solution is going to give you “kinda like folders in every way but not really” since they already exist.

Oh, no prob. So, right now I have ~35 emails in my inbox (I try to keep them under 10). About 8 of these emails are from various people in my school dept. announcing upcoming events or meetings, as well as my reponses to them and additional info about the events (some of the emails don’t contain the previous content, so I have to keep both emails if I want the full story). I’m keeping all these event announcements in my email inbox as reminders to post them all to a news group and mailing list that I manage. If I move them out of the inbox and into a folder, they will be forgotten because my folders go DEEP, and I have a personal rule that I don’t file things that I haven’t taken care of yet. I’ve got another 10 emails from people discussing a Spanish conversation group being formed…each email has different action items for me, but they all pertain to the same general topic, learning Spanish. And then there are the work related emails. And the personal correspondences. Why can’t I ju

Put all of the people in each group in their own group in your Address Book. Then you can use the mail is in INBOX and sender is in Group rules as mandatory. That said, I do sometimes wish that iTunes and Mail both gave and/or for each rule, or gave rule grouping or something.
