Re: [MlMt] Should I remove gmail labels completely ?
Giovanni et al., Forgive me for replying to a thread that is now more than two years old, but I’m still struggling with the question of how best to use MailMate with Gmail labels. In this case, I don’t understand Giovanni’s advice (see below) to “treat them [Gmail labels] as folders”—keeping in mind, of course, the “no multiple labels per message” admonition. As I understand it, in MM, folder = mailbox, and this would suggest that one would create MM mailboxes corresponding to one’s Gmail labels. But—unless I’m really missing something—there is no way to create mailboxes in MM other than smart mailboxes), so there’s no way to move a message from my inbox to another mailbox, is there? *Unless* I include the mailboxes under SOURCES, but I thought the idea was not to use those as part of one’s typical workflow. The Organize section of the MM manual [https://manual.mailmate-app.com/organize] states, “MailMate supports 3 kinds of mailboxes…”, but it then describes only two: [1] Standard Mailboxes (Inbox, Drafts, Sent Messages, Junk, and Deleted Messages) and [2] Smart Mailboxes. What’s the third kind? Custom, but not smart, seems like the obvious option; is that just wishful thinking on my part? Benny very kindly responded to my recent question about Gmail labels and MM tags, so, assuming I understand correctly, I know that I should not map MM tags to Gmail labels but should use MM mailboxes for Gmail labels (and use tags within MM), and that makes sense to me, but only if I can create MM mailboxes and map them to my existing Gmail labels/folders. I tried quitting MM, editing the Mailboxes.plist file to add an entry for a new mailbox, and then restarting MM, but that didn’t have any obvious effect other than reordering the mailboxes in the left panel in MM. Then I found this entry in the MM lists archive: https://www.mail-archive.com/mailmate@lists.freron.com/msg03660.html and tried copying and renaming the “Examples” mailbox. That worked, but I don’t know how to map it to a Gmail label, nor can I even move existing messages from my Inbox to the new mailbox, so it’s not clear that I have actually accomplished anything. Is the only option in MM to use tags to organize messages and move everything I want to save to the Archive folder? I could probably live with that, but I would be awfully nice not to abandon all my Gmail labels, and I have not gotten the clear sense that this is necessary (put another way, I still have the impression, based on what I have heard from Benny and read in the archive, that it *is* possible to create and use MM mailboxes corresponding to Gmail labels). Can anyone enlighten me?

I should probably remove them, but I have like 8 years of labelling history so it's kind of a harsh decision to make.

[MlMt] Date sent column = date last saved?
Hi! While sending a group of emails I started composing some days ago, I noticed that once the emails are sent, they end up in my "Sent Messages" with the value of "Date Sent" actually being when I last saved the draft, not when I really did send it. This "Date Sent" appears to be the header value "Date". I was expecting the value of the header Date to be set to when I did send the message, not when I saved it to the draft folder last time. Is this the proper behaviour? MailMate: Version 1.9.6 (5347) /Per Westerlund PS: This is not a problem for me. Now that I know this behaviour, I can always make an insignificant edit before sending a saved mail if I want to change the recorded date. ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com https://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate

Re: [MlMt] Should I remove gmail labels completely ?
Rereading the “Organize” section of the MM manual [https://manual.mailmate-app.com/organize] just now, I noticed this sentence: “When handling a new message in the Inbox, the basic decision to make is whether it should be archived or trashed. The rest should be handled by smart mailboxes.” That may be an answer (possibly *the* answer) to my earlier question: Is the only option in MM to use tags to organize messages and move everything I want to save to the Archive folder? But since that still strikes me as sub-optimal, I’m going to hold on to my hope that someone else will describe another approach. At this point, moving messages to the Gmail folders/labels under SOURCES is the only option I can see. /topher P.S. I wrote previously that I couldn’t move messages from Inbox to another mailbox. I was trying to issue the “Move to Mailbox…” command with a message open in its own window, but that command is inactive in that instance. I subsequently realized that the command *is* available as long as I don’t open a message in its own window. That seems a bit odd, but I’ll take it. (Even then, however, I couldn’t move messages to the mailbox I created by duplicating the “Examples” folder and renaming the copy.) ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com https://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate
[MlMt] Conditional or context-sensitive keybindings
Hi all Is it possible to set up a keybinding so its behaviour changes depending on the folder you’re in? For example, I’d like to define ‘a’ to archive: if I’m in the Inbox, but move the messages to a different folder if I’m in the SaneNews, SaneLater or SaneBulk folders. cheers Simon -- Simon Kaplan +61 411 511 122 ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com https://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate

Hi, yes it does, but it's slow, that's why I didn't see it... And if I mark messages in the Correspondence view, such a number is not shown. -- Robert M.
