Am I missing something here? I thought you wanted to actually move the messages to different folders... In that case, you would want to use rules instead of smart mailboxes anyway, because the rule would match "List-Id" and move the message to the appropriate folder for the list.
I'm guessing what you really want is to be able to create the storage folder on the fly if it doesn't exist based on the name of the list the message came from. Is that a correct guess? On Nov 30, 2007, at 3:11 PM, Florian Lindner wrote:

Why bother? Just make a smart mailbox for each mailing list you are subscribed to.
As far as I have just checked you can't create a smart mailbox based on an arbitrary header.
Actually, you can. In the first pop-up for the rules (the one that has From/To/Cc/etc.), look down at the end and you'll see a "Edit Header List..." command. Pick that, and add "List-Id" -- now you can create rules based on the value of the List-Id header. Personally, I just have two mailboxes for all mailing list mail, one for company-internal lists and one for external lists, and filter by mailbox if I care, which I usually don't.
This I see only for the creation of rules (in settings) but not for smart mailboxes.

As far as I have just checked you can't create a smart mailbox based on an arbitrary header. However even if it is possible it still involves creating the smart mailbox and defining the filter whereas the script solution is just about creating a folder. Furthermore I still want to have a folder that contains messages that were not sent through a mailinglist. (all which are not caught by the script). Since the smart mailbox leaves the messages in their original place this would involve more configuration.
