But this morning it occurred to me that MMate's
experimental 2.0 feature of Rules lets me just
set up a rule on my Sent Messages mailbox that
says to move all incoming messages to my Inbox!
So simple. So obvious.
I used to have a lot of rules that moved both
received and sent mails to folders per
person/company/project etc. Always fretting
where to stora mail, "Is this more project or
company or ".
With MailMate I dump everything I have processed
in to "Archive" and let all sent mails stay in
"Sent". Quick and easy.
I then use MailMates (really) Smart folders to
organise all mails (received and sent) according
to person/company/project. With Smart folders
one mail can "be in" several folders, person and
project e.g.
Many Smart folders are simply this:
Mailboxes: All Messages
Conditions: Any Address -> Domain is "example.com"
MailMates smart folders and custom keybindings are for me its killer features.
That's fine if all your messages for a particular
smart folder have some common factor, such as a
mailing list name. But what happens when the
mailing list changes its name or host or
something?
Or if a project you are working on gets mail
messages from random people. These sorts of
message I file manually because no rule could
ever pick them up reliably.
How could smart folders work in these cases?
I have been using e-mail for far too many years
and have come across these situations too many
times to be able to rely on smart folders to find
what I want.
