VIP Smart Folders for Mac Mountain Lion Mail

Mountain Lion for Mac OS X, 10.8, was released yesterday. I've been looking forward to using the new Mail VIP feature for a while now. It allows you to mark contacts as a VIP. My goal was to somehow move less important emails to a folder or smart mailbox.

Mail-VIP

That allowed me to make an inverse Smart Mailbox of messages in my Inbox NOT from VIPs.

Mail-VIP-Not

With those in place, I now have two Inbox folders that I can use rather than the standard folder. When I'm working, I can focus on VIPs and when I have time, process the non VIP messages...
