Dear Scott, can you explain how you modified the DevonThink Pro command
to accommodate the tags (I use Devonthink 3, but I guess it makes no
difference)? I normally use Mail archiver X to archive my emails, but
this app does not recognize the tags.
Regarding Mailmate and Preside, I have 2 accounts : one is based on an
Exchange server (this is the one where I have most of my tags), and the
tags are not maintained, neither from Preside to Mailmate, nor the
reverse. My second account is not Exchange-based, and the tags are
correctly maintained in both directions (but unfortunately this is the
account that contains very few tags). And I doubt the IT service of a
3000 people research institution will move away from Exchange just
because I want to keep my tags.

I’m able to see tags on messages that I’ve applied in MailMate
with Preside on iOS and vice versa. As far as I know the tags are
IMAP Keywords which should be stored with the message in the IMAP
store.
As the kids said a few years ago: This is the way.
As others have pointed out, getting Tags to work between devices, and
even between applications on the same device, is essentially down to
the IMAP server itself and the support for IMAP Keywords it has.
In addition to Preside working for iOS (and, indeed, being a
spectacular way to help view/clean-up your tags, if your IMAP server
supports them), I've had great results with:
o Mutt
o neomutt
o Roundcube webmail
The latter did require an old plugin and a bit of tweaking, but, it
confirmed that MailMate was doing the right thing by the IMAP servers
I use (Dovecot, Cyrus).
For email archiving from MailMate, I also modified the "DevonThink
Pro" command to respect tags from MailMate and save them as tags in
DevonThink.
It's rather frustrating that support isn't more ubiquitous, but, these
combinations have worked very well and consistently for me.

Hi Jeff,
After comparing a tagged email on another machine running the same
version, I found that the tag was NOT visible when applied to an
incoming message there. Therefore it is only applied only to the
locally stored incoming message filed at the local user.
OTOH if your outgoing message has a tag applied, you could check to
see if that tag gets transferred to the message headers and somehow
would be decoded by MM at other machines. So, ig your question is
whether a tag is attached to outgoing messages that might be a
different scenario.
You would likely have to move the massages themselves. There is np
instruction that I could find about migrating tagged messages or
databases containing header information when moving to a new
machine.
Respectfully,

Hi,

) on the forum from 2016 for “syncing” the settings between two
devices (*i.e.*, copying the `.plist` files when MailMate is shut
down on both devices). This worked for most things except that the
messages I have tagged on the source device are still not tagged on
the destination device. Do I need to copy over the Database folder
or the Messages folder for that to work?
Thanks
