OMG.. I’m so tickled I’m literally giggling all over the place. That
was SO EASY!
Well sort of. Not being a programmer I misinterpreted the directions a
bit so will add this clarification for future readers of this thread.
The line that will have the from etc still needs to have conditions =
The condition you are doing - in my case from.. Etc needs to be in
quotes.
I know that this is a natural for the programmers but I had to think
about it.
I’m SO HAPPY - thank you. And yes got a few more conditions I’ll
build in to manage the other emails.

I would love it if when I’m about to send an email from this gmail

See "Custom Message Verifications" at
https://manual.mailmate-app.com/hidden_preferences -- it will do
exactly
what you want! Copy the sample there to get the format the plist file
needs to be in; then just replace the "conditions" line in the sample
with
from ~ 'YOUR-GMAIL-ADDRESS';
(which means "the From: line contains YOUR-GMAIL-ADDRESS") and set
the
"title" and "details" lines to display whatever alert you want to be
alerted with.
The easiest way to figure out how to format your conditions, if
you're
not fluent in whatever syntax plist files use, is to create a smart
folder with the conditions you want and then inspect its definition
by
quitting MailMate and opening the mailboxes.plist file to see how the
smart folder is defined there.
You can check for multiple conditions at a time, and have as many
independent verifications as you want. I have about a dozen, ensuring
that I don't send work email from my church-board address, don't send
board business messages from anything *but* my church-board address,
don't send personal mail to a work contact, don't fail to BCC myself
or
use the wrong signature (I have auto-BCC set, but if I change the
sending address after I've begun composing a message the BCC or sig
sometimes fails to change accordingly), don't reply to a mailing list
when I mean to reply to an individual poster, etc. etc. -- the
ability
to set up such verifications was one of the factors that originally
drew
me to MailMate!
