I think MailMate would simply overwrite the changes (and destroy the symlink), but it might be worse than that since I haven't tried. However, best if MM would allow to specify where prefs are stored and handles updates to it dynamically while running. Yes, that would be best, but it's not a simple change (at least not for some of the configuration files). Interestingly, an IMAP server could be used for the sharing avoiding the need for a third party sharing service (at the cost of some private/secret MailMate-related IMAP mailbox to store these files). -- Benny ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com https://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate

I don't mind doing some manual work like grabbing an xml file, making manual changes to tweak an already established file, or what have you. When MailMate is **not** running then it's safe to move any of the `.plist` files: ~/Library/Application Support/MailMate/*.plist Some of them need to go together, but if you haven't changed anything account related then it's fine to move the `Mailboxes.plist` file. You should have the same accounts on both computers and they should be configured them in the same way (if the IMAP server allows different usernames, like Gmail, for the same IMAP account then you could run into issues). -- Benny ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com https://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate

I thought about the symlink option but I often leave both copies running and I'd hate for there to be a collision on read/write and have the whole thing get borked. Hopefully we can get an official solution. Until then, I'll continue playing with the plist files. I was able to move new rules I created for All Messages from one computer to another -- quit MailMate first, then make the changes. They came over successfully. I think smaller changes are better, especially if I have to deal with UUIDs. Thanks, Jim ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com https://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate

Re: [MlMt] Export/Import/Sync Mailbox Conditions/Rules, etc.?
Hi all, Did a little poking around and found the Mailboxes.plist file in the Application Support folder. Taking a look at the format, it appears I can take any filter/action sets and transfer them to the other computer (though I hope I can transfer the data I need outside of any UUID, keeping those straight would be a nightmare). I'll see if I can set aside some time to investigate right if I don't hear anything from you all. While looking at the [Mailboxes.plist](http://i.imgur.com/7cnz4XJ.png) file, I noticed the actions for the first rule attached to All Messages did not have the same parameters the other rules had ([disc.png](http://i.imgur.com/Ul2cLZD.png) and [paleo.png](http://i.imgur.com/tQKWJxd.png) -- I also verified the same on my other computer). I *have* noticed some messages that should have been caught with the first rule showing up in my Inbox, not Archived. I haven't really tried to figure out that problem, maybe this is a likely cause? I tried adding/removing other actions and viewing the resulting changes in the plist and it looks like the moveMessage type in the first rule loses the mailbox specifier. Anyway, would love to hear if anyone else has dabbled in this area?
