Based on advice from Benny from years ago, some of my older rules use
the following sequence of actions to set a gray flag on messages:
[Set Tag/Keyword] [Flagged]
[Remove Tag/Keyword] [$MailFlagBit0]
[Set Tag/Keyword] [$MailFlagBit1]
[Set Tag/Keyword] [$MailFlagBit2]
I want to duplicate this in another rule just now, using r6272, and
in the available values in the pop-up for both Set and Remove
Tag/Keyword, I only see $MailFlagBit1 and $MailFlagBit2, not
$MailFlagBit0.
I chose an available value, quit MailMate, edited
Library/Application\ Support/MailMate/Mailboxes.plist to change the
value to $MailBit0, and it works as expected.
This would also be the expected behavior. This workaround is fine.
Is $MailFlagBit0 identical to $Flagged and not needed now?
No, it was missing in your popup because MailMate did not find this
keyword on any existing messages. MailMate only lists what it can find
and then you ran into the problem that you had no way to set a
seemingly non-existing IMAP keyword. But you found a workaround and
after using it then the missing keyword should appear in the popup.
I use the gray color for suspected spam, and such messages are usually
either deleted or have the flag unset, so MM likely won't find messages
with this flag set.
Another workaround would be to force MailMate to acknowledge the
existence of these bits by explicitly assigning them tag names in the
Tags settings pane -- but this would likely be annoying in other parts
of the interface (although it would allow using it once to force the
IMAP keyword into existence).
To get the gray color I need to set bits 1 and 2 and be sure bit 0 is
unset. Is there a way to assign a name to this combination?
