If I understand you correctly, this is wrong.

What you say about using "Apply to subfolders" in the top-level folders is
incorrect. This applies to existing sub-folders, not any new ones. So you
could have done that to set up the Processing rule choices for all folders in
the first place, rather than entering every folder initially.

When creating new folders there is a checkbox to "Inherit properties and
processing rules from parent folder".

If your plan is to remove all Marks from all messages, then either a
Pre-Processing or a Post-Processing rule would probably be better than a
replicated Processing rule in each and every folder.
