An update: Devontech just put out an email noting that it's possible to drop *.mbox files onto the Devonthink dock icon to activate import.

I tried that with a MailMate *.mailbox file. It works! It's a bit clunky compared to DevonThink's Apple Mail importer, and some things don't work out. If I import from Apple Mail, the file name in Devonthink is the meail's subject line. Drag and drop and import from MailMate, and the file name is a number, which isn't very helpful. But Devonthink's outstanding search function should ensure I find anything I'm looking for.

Also, I have to drag and drop all MailMate message folders one-by-one for a full backup. This isn't too much of a hardship, because everything I want to keep goes into one Archive folder.

Someday, it would be nice to see more integration between MailMate and Devonthink, two outstanding bits of artisan software out of northern Europe. But for now, it's enough.

For my part, elegance would be the ability to import & archive MailMate mailboxes into Devonthink using the Devonthink mail importer. I suspect the framework is already there, and it just needs a bit of UI around it.

Just to be sure: You are aware of the new DEVONthink bundle available for the 64 bit release of MailMate? If yes, what do you need to make it more elegant?
