I think 50-100K messages should work pretty well. As a point of data, I have a GMail account with 61K messages and a private-server account with 49K, and performance is quite acceptable. Though startup is slow, I think a lot of that is GMail's fault. Once I'm past startup, everything is snappy enough, including deep archive searches and display of messages in very long threads (I never turn off thread arcs).

Greetings, On 23 May 2013, at 14:29, CSS wrote: Hello, The announcement of the new beta today reminded me of why I joined the list… I went through the trial period, and I was very happy with MailMate in general. The interface and features are pretty much exactly what I was looking for in my quest for the perfect OS-X mail client (currently back on Mail.app, previously tried Postbox and Thunderbird). That said, I do currently deal with three rather large mail accounts, plus some additional accounts used for archives. I think I basically want to maintain immediate access to more mail than MailMate is designed for due to the flat message store. On my older MBP it's most obvious - everything has a bit of a lag, particular paging through or deleting messages; it's just enough lag to make me second guess whether I deleted the right thing. :) I understand that as it stands, MailMate is not made for my usage scenario (giant mailboxes, and less-than-modern hardware), but is there anything to look forward to in the next year or two that might be of interest to someone like me who's eager to ditch Mail.app? I recall reading something in the archives that there may be a time in the future when MM gets a major rewrite to make handling 50K+ messages practical. Are we anywhere near that time? Regardless, I think MM is a fantastic mail client and I'll recommend it to anyone who will listen. As more people move to webmail and social media for messaging, it seems like the market for power user MUAs is decreasing. I was truly disappointed that my use case didn't fit MM, as I was very eager to make it my primary mail client - everything else about it is just about perfect. I'm running about 200K messages - no appreciable delay (unless I have to do an index rebuild or re-init my local store).

If I wanted, say, to automatically filter all incoming mail from the Mailmate Users list to a dedicated subfolder, would I use a Rule or a Command? Great question. Technically, there is no difference with respect to how MailMate handles it internally. A rule is a specialized command with a GUI. A rule is an event (the arrival of a message in a mailbox), one or more conditions, and one or more actions (for example, moving a message). Commands are a bit more general with (potentially) more types of events, in particular, it could be keyboard shortcuts. Input and output can vary depending on the type of event and a command can run any kind of script to do the actual work. This is intentionally vague. Don't want to promise too much :-) The implementation of rules is going to be based on the existing implementation of commands, but I'm only going to expose rules to the user at first since this is a good way to test and evaluate the implementation of commands. As usual, no promises, I'm not even sure I'll keep on calling it commands :-) -- Benny ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com http://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate
[MlMt] New MailMate User here, and have some questions...
Hi all, New MailMate user, bought the license, drank most of the kool-aid. ;) Being a former Pine, Thunderbird, Mail.app user, there are many parts of MailMate that I really do like (native OpenPGP support, display font customization, keyboard shortcuts). But there have been some drawbacks - if they have already been addressed in the list archives, then point me there and I'll read up. (too bad mailman doesn't have integrated search capabilities) My setup is to two IMAP servers, one for work (Zimbra 8.x), one for personal (Dovecot 1.x) where sent mail is relayed separately (work via Zimbra, personal via my personal server). Note that I already know of the one Zimbra related issue i/r/t folders that is already in the bugs queue (and it's more annoying than anything). But a couple of annoyances…. Per account preferences - since I have to keep work mail separate from my personal mail, having the ability to set per-account preferences like autoBCC. I know in the hidden preferences pane you can set it to auto-BCC but it's one address overall (I hope I am mistaken) I have been resorting to trying to put it in manually with every message which is spotty at best. Use the same font (and size) for printing as display - I am a curmudgeon - I like all my plain text email to use a monospace font (in this case Courier Prime 12pt). However when I print out a email, it's using Lucid Grande (the old default) and the font size is like 16pt. :( Any way to change that? If it's HTML mail then use whatever fonts it wants, but for text emails it should honor the font settings for display which has been my experience with most other MUA's. Threading - $work uses RequestTracker to handle trouble tickets, and RT does keep the Reference: header populated, but every message that I get from that system comes across as a new thread in MailMate (even though the Subject and Reference headers indicate that it's part of a larger thread.) Happy to pass along examples if need be (and I can get them sanitized). Interested to hear any workarounds for any of these issues. ;) Best Wishes - Peter -- [ http://www.plosh.net/ ] - Earth Halted: Please reboot to continue ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com http://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate
