certain emails into a folder on mac mail

Hi I USE Mac Mail for my email and I would like to start to order my emails by folder if possible I want any job new emails to go into a folder called jobs on my mail and all my other mail just go into the inbox.

Can I do this and how, I setup a smart mailbox but the old emails still exist in my main inbox.

A rule would be a better way to do that

You can get rules to apply to incoming mail and also retro apply them to a folder like the inbox to sort out older emails
