Dear Topher, In theory, yes it works! (Many thanks Benny!)
Yes, I took Benny to mean create a third mailbox (which I named Reply Processing). And following Benny’s instructions, it works really nicely; you send an email, tagged, it appears in Awaiting Reply, and when a reply comes in, it disappears from Awaiting Reply. Beautiful! There are some complexities which may or may not just be me. (1) I cc colleagues a good deal, so I get multiple entries in Awaiting Reply. I haven’t yet worked out whether a reply to one removes them all (and even worse I haven’t worked out whether that would be desired behaviour). Eg, if I email Tom , copying Dick and Harry, do I want to wait for replies from Dick and Harry? If not, I need to figure out how to exclude cced respondents from Awaiting Reply tags. (2) I don’t keep many emails in the inbox - I have a series of rules (on the gmail server side) which move them to correspondence folders by domain. (E.G, email from t...@example.com, d...@example.com and ha...@example.com will all be moved to an example.com folder.) So I had to amend Benny’s criteria. (3) I should probably add a date criterion so that emails ignored, and that I haven’t chased, disappear anyway after a week or two. Again, that’s a matter of figuring out desired behaviour more than anything else. But that aside, I *finally* - only about twenty years after wishing this feature existed - have found a client that does it. I am extremely pleased. Hope that helps, Nick _______________________________________________ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com https://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate
