Fix your Mail.app bundle with leopard

Last night I upgraded to Leopard (yay!) but realized that some of my Mail.app plugins such as Act-On and vertical pane were broken. A bit of googling, and I found that this magic hackery made them work again:

defaults write com.apple.mail EnableBundles 1
defaults write com.apple.mail BundleCompatibilityVersion 3

I didn’t follow you at first, then I found another article stating the same thing but with one addition, these commands need to be written into terminal and you’re set. Thanks!

Oh, and restarting Mail.app afterwards to enable plugins.

Do anyone know a Mail.app plugin that allows you to set up rules that move your mail from your inbox and into your smart folders? The mail currently goes into the smart folders but still stays in the inbox. Outlook has this feature.

Thanks
Fabian
