[MlMt] constructing conditions: "any individual recipient"
Hi, All -- I'm having trouble constructing conditions for a smart mailbox (I need the conditions for a message verification, check before sending). Either what I want to do isn't possible with MailMate's conditions, or possibly it's simple and I'm having a Boolean logic blind spot. I fear it's the former, but I'd be glad if someone can show me it's the latter! I want to ensure that autofill of addresses doesn't allow me to accidentally send business correspondence to, for example, betty-gra...@gmail.com when I meant to send it to betty-rub...@corporate.com. Fortunately, the subject lines of such correspondence are reasonably predictable, so I can know that I want to check messages with subjects containing, let's say, "biz talk," and all the business's email addresses are @corporate.com. So what I need is a condition that will catch any message with "biz talk" in the subject and a recipient whose address does not contain "corporate.com." The problem is that the message might have several recipients, and only one might be incorrect. The condition "Recipient does not contain corporate.com" means "All recipients, considered together, do not contain corporate.com." So it won't catch a message addressed to both bar...@corporate.com (correctly) and betty-gra...@gmail.com (incorrectly). What I need is "Any recipient, considered individually, does not contain corporate.com." Is there any way to build such a condition in MailMate?

Never seen a client with that ability on any platform. Classic Mac Eudora could from its earliest IMAP support (v3?) Thunderbird could since at least v2 Mulberry always could. Apple Mail can on iOS since at least v4 and Yosemite and I'm pretty sure always could. K-9 on Android could circa 2010-2012 (probably still can) ChatterEmail v3 could on PalmOS So, it isn't exactly an unusual or novel feature. ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com https://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate

Re: [MlMt] new user help
Hi Gary, Thanks very much for the reply. I’ve got it going, better than I feared. It’s got all my folders laid out correctly. I’m collecting mail and able to move messages to the appropriate folders. Here are some questions and areas I could use help with. Whatever you have time for is fine. 1. The yellow box: Blocked 1 external reference. I’m sure it’s a security thing but I’m not sure what or how. What’s that about? Is there a way to turn it off. 2. Apple Mail and Postbox (I’ve used them) support rules, so that one can move inbox messages to pre-assigned folders. I don’t see how to do that, except with smart folders that I’ll mention in a minute. 3. Smart folders seem very useful, but I don’t know what I’m doing. I have a pretty elaborate folder structure that was imported from a university gmail account that I was using through Apple Mail. How do smart folders improve on this. I’m sure they do; but I don’t quite get it. Also, in smart folders I don’t understand what each of the settings is all about folders, conditions, rules, etc. 4. I also don’t get tags — I use them in Evernote but not sure what they add here, esp. with smart folders available. 5. Simpler I think: how do I italicize a phrase in composing an email. I see that I type in sort of raw form and it’s duplicated in a nice font below. But how to I get that font to be bold or italics, etc.? Thanks for any hints on how to proceed.

Yes it's a security thing, go to "Preferences… -> Security" and there you have the image blocking settings. Apple Mail and Postbox (I’ve used them) support rules, so that one can move inbox messages to pre-assigned folders. I don’t see how to do that, except with smart folders that I’ll mention in a minute. In MailMate you set them per mailbox. Right click e.g. the "Inbox" and select "Edit mailbox". Last tab is "Rules". Rules are only run on mail as they are added to a mailbox. In other mail clients I used a lot of rules, in MailMate I almost only use the smart folders instead. Smart folders seem very useful, but I don’t know what I’m doing. I have a pretty elaborate folder structure that was imported from a university gmail account that I was using through Apple Mail. Smart folders are saved searches and they are really smart and really fast. I file away everything in "Archive" and use smart folders to bring order. I prefer them from normal folders since I can have mail shop up in multiple smart folders. A mail can e.g. shop up in a company smart folder and a project smart folder at the same time. With smart folders it' also easy to make changes without needing to move any messages. Fredrik ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com https://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate
