Use Categories instead of entering individual addresses in a Rule
Instead of having to update a rule with a new address, just use categories instead.
For example, you want all your mail from your buddies to go into your buddy folder. Just assign the category Buddies in the address book to each address. If you add extra addresses in the future to this category, the rule using category will automatically include the new address. It's a lot easier than having to open the rule and add individual addresses.
Using categories is a good way to identify important mail. Create a VIP category. Then when you read mail, you can be certain you don't miss the answers from your VIPs. This is a quick way to skim mail for answers too.
Tip: be sure to include "Is not from a mailing list" or you'll get mailing list mail in your buddy folder.
