I don't know if this would be a good suggestion or make any sense, but  
I would consider moving the filter menu under "Mailbox" to the Edit/ 
Filters menu as a third tab, that would be: "Match", "Action" and  
"Mailbox" or "Mailbox to apply" or something like that. So, the end- 
user would know the match that he/she has to create, the action to be  
performed, and what mailboxes (either defaults or created) would  
affected by the new filter, as well as deciding whether the action  
should take place immediately or after closing Balsa. Hope this helps  
for something.
