[MlMt] Automating Mailmate - best way?
Hi, If I want to automate certain aspects of my mail handling what is the best way to go about this. Classes of things I would like to do are + Create a new emails + Call on a script with references to one or more selected emails (+ Trigger a script based an a filter) I looked at the applescript dictionary and it seem to be pretty basic (too basic to be useful??). I also looked at some of the bundles and it looks like any kind of language would work here. So, is there some language that is a "better choice" for some reason when interacting with Mailmate? Personally, it doesn't matter much but I would prefer not to use Cobol, Fortran or APL :D = jem ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com https://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate
Re: [MlMt] opening multiple mails
A followup: 1: It is not possible to get this behaviour with the mouse - annoying since it forces me to move my hand off the mouse just for this (yes, I am aware that most MM users are keyboard centric). My wish: it would be great if the right-click popup menu included the option to open messages individually. 2: Msg windows are sorted with newest message on top — of course, when reading a thread, I would prefer to read oldest first. Benny says that he changed this behavior in the forthcoming release. 3: Msg windows open snag at the bottom of the screen. I seem to recall a recent discussion about such problematic window positioning. I discovered that the problematic positioning occurs when no message window is open. I haven’t found a way to set the default position. However, if I leave one msg window open (behind the main window is fine), the further message windows open relative to that window (actually, the latest open message window). My wish: MM could allow setting the default position and size for opening a new message window if no other window is open (the current behavior is fine otherwise).

Strange that the menu item remains the same with and without the shift key, but who cares. Yes, you’re right, though at least the shift shows up, indicating that something different will happen. Is they a way to have the oldest messages show on top? MM seems to insist that newer messages are on top, but 95% of the time, I want to read them in the order they went sent. Ah, you’re right.

[MlMt] Eudora's mail concatenation in MailMate
I just discovered that MailMate has a function equivalent to the mail concatenation feature of Eudora. I am in 7th heaven, and I thought to share this discovery! I saw the setting for this in the preferences quite a while ago but only now clicked what it really means. For those wondering what I am talking about: If I double-click a message in MailMate, it opens that message in a new window. Nothing special here. If I double-click a message holding the shift key, MailMate sets a filter that shows all messages with the same subject or whatever column I was clicking. This is pretty much the same what option-click did in Eudora. MM refers to this functionality as searching for related messages. Tip: select the message before you double-click it, so MM does not use the first click to select multiple messages.

Re: [MlMt] Share MailMate between user accounts – app damaged for all but one user

MailMate has an (old) issue where the Software Update mechanism doesn't work well with multiple accounts. I'm guessing this is what happened here. - How do I solve the problem?

Re: [MlMt] smart mailbox flagged

I’d like the smart mailbox “flagged” to show a submailbox for
each flag. Ideally, I’d like to see simply the flag icon as the
submailbox name.
I got as far as
sub mailbox for each unique value of: flags
mailbox name format: ${#flags.flag.#name}
For historic reasons, the name `#flags` is misleading. It's actually all
IMAP keywords which includes both the keywords used for tags and other
other standard or non-standard keywords.
This shows the correct submailboxes but the shown names include all
tags and flags not just the mailflags. The odd part is that the list
of tags in the names does not always include $MailFlagBitX and
sometimes includes more than one.
You are seeing a mailbox for every IMAP keywords which exists for any
message which also has the `\Flagged` keyword.
Note that the default name format is suggested as: ${#flags}
This produces essentially the same submailbox names, just the order of
listed tags is different.
Yes, you'll see all existing combinations of keywords.
But to answer your question: There is currently no way to do what you
request. Colored flags are a combination of IMAP keywords (this
originates from Apple Mail). The best workaround is probably to manually
create a smart mailbox for each combination of the mail bit flags.
That'll also allow you to control the exact naming of the mailboxes.
(Low-level I think it would also be possible to specify the flag images
for the mailbox icons.)

[ [Gmail] mailbox ] It's not a problem, but you might want to take the mailbox explicitly offline in order to stop MailMate from trying to create the mailbox. Can this "dragged action" somehow be "deleted" so MM doesn't try it over and over again? Or is this "failed" state coming from a one-time action in the past? If, any way to get rid of this state? You can certainly move any messages in the mailbox. There shouldn't be any messages in this mailbox in any case since they cannot synchronize with the server. In order to remove the “failed” state then I **think** it would work to delete it, but I haven't tested this. It sounds strange, but in IMAP there is a difference between hierarchy-only mailbox and hierarchy-mailbox which can contain messages. Essentially you can create an IMAP mailbox named `A/B/C` and then `A` and `A/B` still don't really need to exist. Right now, MailMate tries to put `[Gmail]` into existence and this fails (because the server does not allow it). -- Benny ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com https://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate

Re: [MlMt] Eudora's mail concatenation in MailMate
That’s funny… mine is configured the other way around… has been so long I don’t know if I did that, or if it used to be default. I did learn a couple tricks from this conversation though… a) I didn’t know that shift double-click would open the msg in a new window (for me) b) I usually just hit as return to open the selected msg in a new window c) I didn’t realize that the column I double-clicked on determined the filter for the search Agreed… fantastic App!!
