I agree, this is probably one of the only weak points of MM.
However based on my experience with other applications, this is
definitively not a trivial issue, and it is certainly dependent on
the IMAP server.
Why couldn’t MM store smart-mailbox info in iCloud?
The problem is not where to store, but how to synchronize what is
stored between MailMate installs. Currently MailMate cannot even
detect changes made to the file storing smart mailboxes. A relaunch is
needed when editing it manually.
Using iCloud to store is also an unnecessary complication when IMAP is
already known/configured and available for shared storage (and
potentially cross-platform although that is not relevant in this
case).
Yes, but Apple encourages use of iCloud for such things, doesn’t it?
And it doesn’t involves the manipulation of IMAP for non-mail stuff.
Personally I wouldn’t much mind if it were DropBox instead of iCloud,
but I think iCloud is a bit more user-friendly and doesn’t require any
special subscriptions. Many non-savvy users use iCloud already.
