But why bother with counters.txt and stdout and stdin? I would suggest quitting MailMate, making a copy of ~/Library/Preferences/com.freron.MailMate.plist, editing the copy directly in a reliable text editor such as BBEdit…

You could try that, but you’ll quickly notice that com.freron.MailMate.plist is a binary file.

Almost never used by myself but there is another tool in the box that’s meant to help here —

        NAME
             PlistBuddy – read and write values to plists
        
        SYNOPSIS
             PlistBuddy [-cxh] file.plist
        
        DESCRIPTION
The PlistBuddy command is used to read and modify values inside of a plist. Unless specified by
             the -c switch, PlistBuddy runs in interactive mode.
        …

Option -a outputs the plist file in human ‘readable’ form

Gavan
