Mick-

This is customizable.  Information may be found here:

- https://lists.freron.com/mailmate/2014-December/003494.html

I have mine set up this way:

Command: defaults write com.freron.MailMate MmFilenameFormatString -string '${#date/(\S*) (\d\d):(\d\d):(\d\d).*/$1_$2-$3-$4/} - [${from.name:${from.address}}] - ${subject}.eml'
Result: 2016-09-26_16-21-59 - [Zak] - Email Subject.eml

The only issue I have is the timezone used to label the file. Some messages use the local time, some use UTC. It does mess up file sorting.

Not sure about dragging and dropping in one step. I just tag the saved email as 'saved-eml.'

Subject: [MlMt] Dragging Emails to Desktop for Long Term Achive

Two archive questions:

#1. When dragging emails out of MailMate to local storage folder,
separate .eml files are created with todays created date, but not the
content created date. Hazy memrory -> This has been possible somehow in
the past, maybe with other software.   Is there a way with MailMate ?

#2. Is there a method to drag-copy-delete in one step to local storage
folder?

Thx Mick


For long term archival I now simply recommend dragging emails out of
MailMate to
save them on disk and then delete them in MailMate (and thereby on the
IMAP server).
These are still going to be searchable using Spotlight and viewable in
MailMate (but
not searchable in MailMate).    by Benny Kjær Nielsen Tue, 17 Jan
