Re: [MlMt] Confused about tags
When I select a group of messages, press t to open the tagging field, and apply the tag mailmate, nothing is tagged. When I select any message from the group, it has no tag. Nothing appears in the header, and nothing appears when I press t. The problem turned out to be an elementary misunderstanding of the interface on my part. When I apply a tag and press return, the tag appears outlined in the tag field, and I believed it was applied at that point. When I then clicked away from the selection and returned to one of the messages I thought I had tagged, I found the tag was not applied. Instead, of course, you must press return twice to apply a tag—once to confirm the selected tag (upon which it becomes outlined) and once to apply the changes to the message on the server. I did not intuit this. Why did I have success tagging individual items and not a multiple selection? I'm not sure. I probably blundered into the correct workflow without understanding it.

This might be a hint since it should appear immediately. But I would like to be able to apply tags in bulk. Is there something I'm not understanding? No, I think it should work as you expect. Something is not working correctly. You can enable the “Raw Flags” column in the messages outline in order to follow changes more closely. ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com http://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate

I did not intuit this. Oh, I didn't think of that. Someone else reported this recently and I improved it such that selecting another message also commits the tag changes.

I did not intuit this. It took me a couple tries to figure that out as well. (Once I figured out that pressing T would bring up the option, I kept expecting an contextual menu or something in Edit). I'm not sure how one light change it, it's a reasonable interface once you know it, but there is that initial learning curve.___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com http://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate
[MlMt] Confused about tags
When I select a group of messages, press t to open the tagging field, and apply the tag mailmate, nothing is tagged. When I select any message from the group, it has no tag. Nothing appears in the header, and nothing appears when I press t. The mailmate tag is set up in the Tags pane of Preferences. I've also checked the account in the Activity Viewer to ensure that \* appears in the list of IMAP keywords (per Benny's message yesterday). When I select a message individually, I can apply the tag and it shows up later. But I would like to be able to apply tags in bulk. Is there something I'm not understanding? Yes, I've made sure I entered the tag in Tags to be added and not Tags to be removed. Thanks, John ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com http://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate
