Re: [MlMt] rule for deleting messages
I guess I’m spoiled my Mail.app. Preferences>Accounts>(particular account)>Mailbox Behaviors>Trash Mailbox>Erase deleted messages: pick from popup. tim On 21 Aug 2017, at 8:16, Verdon Vaillancourt wrote: One of the mailboxes I subscribe too is a gmail account. It gets a lot of noise from a couple servers I admin, which I do not need to keep beyond 30 days. I user gmail filters to move mail with certain criteria to a gmail folder, and a script within google apps that works on that folder as a cron sort of thing, and nightly deletes anything older than 30 days. It could work directly on the inbox too, if I wanted it to. The point is, is that sort of action works best on the server, and not on the client, where rules general only run once on inbound mail, without manual intervention. gmail is scriptable, and that’s handy. Other servers may have other choices. Thinking out loud now too, would it be possible with Applescript to have a task run in MlMt that would manually run rules on all the contents of select mailboxes? v On 21 Aug 2017, at 7:07, Tim Lance wrote: Thanks, Bill.

If you have a rule set on Deleted Messages, any message you delete in the usual way (provisionally) has the rule tested against it at that time but never again unless you select the message specifically and use the Apply Rules menu command. ___ ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com https://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com https://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate

[MlMt] rule for deleting messages
I want to delete messages older than 30 days. Yes, I understand the implications but I am not a huge email user. Best I can tell is I need to set a rule? I tried setting one for the “combined” mailbox: Deleted Messages. It does not work. I have 6 IMAP accounts (5 gmail, 1 iCloud). I tried setting a rule for a particular mailbox in Deleted Messages. Nope. Rule is if Date not within 30 days permanently delete. Best! tim ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com https://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate

Yes, but only if viewing the message(s). I just “know” it happened while I had a certain message from BestBuy in my Inbox. If you are able to reproduce anything then let me know.

I must say I haven’t seen it jump like it was since I wrote. I am suspecting there was some message in my inbox with a lot of “active” HTML elements? Possible? But wouldn’t that hold true for while they’re in Deleted Messages, too? I just “know” it happened while I had a certain message from BestBuy in my Inbox. So it goes. Otherwise I’m finding that MailMate usually is using equal or less total RAM than Mail.app when I’m looking at it plus its related Mail Networking and Mail Web Content. Thanks for checking.

At least once a day I see in ActivityMonitor huge jumps in all columns for memory use - like by a factor of 3 or 4. For example, for the Memory column instead of the usual 200-300 MB I’ll see anything from 600-800 to well over 1 GB, in that column alone. It never goes back down, even after purging. After a MailMate restart things are back to normal. Anyone else? I’ve never seen another client do such. I've got a similar (and unfortunately quite old) report from a user and in that case I'm convinced there is some kind of leak, but it has proven difficult to track down what happens. This user has a very small email archive of just a few thousand emails. I'll note your email address and contact you if I have a fix for this issue. But note that MailMate is memory hungry and if you have a large message store then it uses a lot of memory. It'll increase sharply until you have received and sent a few emails and then it should stabilize. -- Benny ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com https://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com https://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate
