Because Mail's rules do not have an 'or' statement, I had to create a '@Defer' keyword. So my inbox rule is any of the following: no keyword, due date before 1 day from today. I have some Mail Act-On rules set up to assign things to Action, Waiting For, Archive, and Defer. The scripts for the first three clear any keywords, set due date to none, and then assign an appropriate keyword. The Defer script is the same except for the final step. I set due dates to on and give it a due date 7 days from the current date. If I need to fine tune the date, I can go into my Defer Smart Mailbox and adjust the due date. My only problem now is that Mail seems less stable since adding Act-On and Mail Tags. Also, the Smart Mailboxes don't always update properly. I played around with this some more.
