Re: [MlMt] search for different Flags
My comment will not answer your question, but it reflects several months of using colored flags and tags. My impression is that tags are more useful : they can be used to sort the messages, they can be searched for throughout all mailboxes, they are recognized by most servers (so transferable from one computer to the other (except with Exchange), unlike colored flags), they allow a relatively easy visualization of who sent what, … This being said, a more convenient combination of keys to change the flag color would still be useful.

Re: [MlMt] enhancement, I think
I agree, this is probably one of the only weak points of MM. However based on my experience with other applications, this is definitively not a trivial issue, and it is certainly dependent on the IMAP server.

The "archive" folder is not synchronized on your work machine. You can either find it in the folder hierarchy of the IMAP account in the Sources section of the MailMate mailbox list and synchronize it specifically (in the contextual menu or under the regular Mailbox menu) or use the menu File->Synchronize->All Sources to synchronize everything. If it fails to get synchronized regularly, the root cause could be that it is be set to synchronize only manually, which you can fix by selecting it and using the "Synchronization Schedule" submenu of the Mailbox or contextual menu. 2. The "archive" folder is not understood by MailMate on your work machine to be THE Archive folder (a single special-purpose folder) for that account, and you are looking at the Archive->AccountName folder in the Mailboxes section of MailMate's mailbox list, which is some other folder in that account. To tell MailMate that a specific IMAP folder should be treated as one of the 5 special-purpose folders recognized by MailMate, select the folder in the Sources section of the mailbox list and use the Mailbox Type submenu of the contextual or Mailbox menu. 3. You are not subscribed to the "archive" folder on your work machine. Select the account in the Sources section of the MailMate mailbox list and use the "Edit IMAP Account" option from the contextual or Mailbox menu to open the IMAP Account Settings window. In the center section of that window there is an "Edit Subscriptions..." button that opens a panel listing all of the folders in the IMAP account and their subscription states, both in the server's subscription list and in MailMate's own internal list that governs which folders you actually see (and which get synchronized) in the Sources section of the MailMate mailbox list. This seems to me to be an unlikely cause, since an unsubscribed folder would not be missing messages, it would be be entirely absent. ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com https://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com https://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate

Only “Flagged”, “Seen”, and a few other standard keywords can be synchronized. Indeed, but I was wondering whether « Important » is part of these standard keywords, as it could be used as an all purpose tag, while *flagged, seen, junk* have a specific function.

I need to top-reply in most of my correspondences because this is what people expect. And I need my signature to be immediately below my reply and above the quoted text. For now, I copy-paste the signature that MailMate inserts at the bottom of the email to the top and then compose my reply. Second, how do I defeat automatic insertion of a signature? Third, I use signatures as a convenient way to insert various boilerplate texts. But when I insert a signature using the composer's toolbar, I always get a warning about discarding HTML. What's this about? Finally, I don't understand what is the "HTML Variant" or how it works. What would suit me is very simple: 1. An option to not insert a signature by default. 2. When I insert a signature using the composer's toolbar menu, MailMate inserts it - at my carat, wherever that may be, and - simply as a plain-text string. Regardless if I am composing in markdown or not, just insert the characters in the signature string as though I had typed them or copy-pasted them from a text-editor.

You can add conditions if you like, but the action should be to “Redirect” emails to your assistant. Redirecting is better if your assistant needs to reply to the emails. A better solution might be to use a special tag for redirected emails. You can make a smart mailbox with the same rule which only matches the tagged emails.

I pressed « always resynchronize » and everything resumed, albeit quite slowly. Is this diagnostic of something specific (it is the first time it occurs in about a year)? The UIDVALIDITY value for an IMAP mailbox is what an email client uses to determine if a mailbox is still the same mailbox. The name is not sufficient, because another email client might have deleted a mailbox and then created a new one with the same name. This could lead to an incorrect mapping between local emails and server emails. Therefore, a changed UIDVALIDITY value for a mailbox signals that the email client should forget everything about the mailbox and re-synchronize it. It's the only safe option. I cannot tell you why this happened, but if it happens on a regular basis then we can debug to make sure that MailMate does not behave incorrectly (I doubt it since if it did then it would likely happen very often). Some IMAP servers are pretty buggy regarding the UIDVALIDITY value, but there's not much MailMate can do about that. Resynchronize - Always Resynchronize - Retry The “Always Resynchronize” button was implemented to help out with such buggy servers. I won't recommend using it in general and the setting is forgotten as soon as MailMate is relaunched. (One could imagine a server which deletes certain empty IMAP mailboxes. This could trigger new UIDVALIDITY values on a regular basis, but in this case it's not really doing any harm.) -- Benny ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com https://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com https://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate

Re: [MlMt] replying and including attachment from source message

[MlMt] IMAP keywords, misusage
I am using Mailmate on different computers, and as I work with an Exchange server, the tags are not maintained from one computer to the other.

However I wanted to avoid any IMAP keyword that would automatically tag zillions of mails, but identify, if possible, one keyword that would be attached by the user only. I thought I had the choice between *MDNSent* (not quite sure what it is normally used for), *Important* (not sure this one actually exists), *NotJunk* and *Flagged* (although it may automatically tag all the mails I have already flagged).

Re: [MlMt] move and open
Is there a possibility, when you move a message to a mailbox, to open that mailbox automatically at the same time? How are you moving the message? Drag'n'drop, the “Move to Mailbox” interface, and/or explicit actions like “Move to Archive”? « Move to mail box » (very handy). I suspect the order of appearance is the most recently opened? Can it be modified? Are you looking for a general option to always do this? (Which I think would be annoying most of the time.) Not general, although it would probably be easier to implement. I guess I'm asking, what is your use case? Maybe there's something which would work better for you. I'm thinking it might be better to think of it as two separate actions. No matter how you have moved the message, MailMate could have some kind of “Go to Mailbox of Most Recently Moved Message” shortcut to help you get to that location? (Preferably phrased in a more succinct manner.) Currently I use »move to mailbox », then « go to (*same*) mailbox », which is a bit redundant, despite the fact that I have keyboard shortcuts for each. Anything that would streamline this would be appreciated. Or maybe “Go to Mailbox” (⌘T) should, maybe optionally, always default to the location of the moved-to mailbox if that was the most recent action. Is this feasible? Just thinking out loud... I can’t think of a direct way - maybe you could do it with a new [Bundle](https://github.com/mailmate)? thanks, I am working on it, but so far without success.

Re: [MlMt] Suggested way to quickly find all messages to and from given email adress?
Indeed, and sorry for forgetting about that. Instead of trying to hit a tiny triangle, especially when you are a keyboard-centric Maimate user, can the default mailbox be defined by a shortcut (toggling between current and All)?

Re: [MlMt] move and open
Thanks Benny, you are right, I don’t want to *always* go to that mailbox. I realise that if this becomes the default behavior, it won’t be ideal either. In fact what I would need are 2 separate shortcuts to move messages : one that works as currently, and a second one that opens the mailbox used to move my message. Since no other user seems to be fascinated by my request, please just forget about it, I guess you have more important modifications to implement. However I will implement your final suggestion to at least improve the behavior for my most frequently used mailboxes.

I suspect the order of appearance is the most recently opened? Can it be modified? No, but MailMate learns any abbreviation you might use to get to a specific mailbox. In other words, MailMate can “learn” that “mm” means some “MailMate” IMAP mailbox. Currently I use »move to mailbox », then « go to (*same*) mailbox », which is a bit redundant, despite the fact that I have keyboard shortcuts for each. Anything that would streamline this would be appreciated. But you don't want to *always* go to the mailbox I guess. Or maybe “Go to Mailbox” (⌘T) should, maybe optionally, always default to the location of the moved-to mailbox if that was the most recent action. Is this feasible? Such a feature does not exist, but it could be implemented. MailMate could probably just review the undo-stack to find the information. It could even display the X most recently used mailboxes for “Move to” actions. Would such a feature solve your use case? In most cases you would then need to hit ⌘T followed by enter to go to the mailbox. It seems more flexible since you then control when to do so instead of being forced after every move. It should, possibly, even be default behavior. In fact I don’t, as I have too many mailboxes. But I am curious : how can you define a key binding to move to a specific mailbox? Select the mailbox in MailMate and use ⌘C to puts its identifier on the pasteboard. Then create a key binding like this: "m" = ( "moveToMailbox:", "identitifer" ); You can also move relative to the IMAP account of the selected message: g = ( "moveToMailbox:", "/Special"); That would move an email to a mailbox named “Special” in the same account as the email. -- Benny https://freron.com/become_a_mailmate_patron/ ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com https://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com https://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate

[MlMt] sync bug
This weekend when I launched Mailmate, I got the following warning (attached). All my mailboxes (and I have a great number) got desynchronized, and take forever (and even more) to resynchronize (and I suspect I will get the same problem the next time I launch Mailmate). What is the best solution to solve the problem? Reinstall Mailmate? Anything else? My other mail clients seem to work OK. Importantly, the same problem happened when I opened Mailmate on 2 different computers.

Re: [MlMt] sync bug
Dear Bill, thank you for the explanations. This weekend when I launched Mailmate, I got the following warning (attached). All my mailboxes (and I have a great number) got desynchronized, and take forever (and even more) to resynchronize (and I suspect I will get the same problem the next time I launch Mailmate). Probably not. In fact I experienced the same problem each time I relaunch Mailmate, or restart the computer, which sounds weird I agree. In fact what possibly happens is that each time I restart, a new mailbox send me an error message (I did not follow carefully which mailbox sends me an error message), and that will last until all mailboxes are synced again. Hopefully once re-synced, they will remain so. UIDVALIDITY is a tag used by an IMAP server to alert clients when the UID values for messages in a mailbox may have changed. Nothing a client like MM does can cause a mailbox's UIDVALIDITY value to change and when that value changes there is no reliable strategy for a client other than to fully resynch the mailbox. The most common reason for UIDVALIDITY to change is if a server has had some sort of failure that required a rebuild of mailboxes. For Exchange servers, it also is rumored to happen whenever the mail admin sneezes. My server is indeed Exchange-based, but there is nothing I can do about it. I finally did not reinstall Mailmate, and I am just waiting for every mailbox to re-sync. Since I have more than 400 (exported from a previous email client), it takes forever. It seems I have to open a mailbox to force it to sync; Would there be a way to re-sync all my mailboxes with a single instruction? Alain What is the best solution to solve the problem? Reinstall Mailmate? Anything else? No, do not reinstall MailMate. MailMate didn't cause this and cannot prevent it. My other mail clients seem to work OK. Importantly, the same problem happened when I opened Mailmate on 2 different computers. Any IMAP client that maintains a persistent local cache of messages MUST invalidate that cache when the UIDVALIDITY value of a mailbox changes from what the client last saw. Some clients do not maintain such a cache and many that do won't bother alerting the user when they need to do a full resynch. -- Bill Cole b...@scconsult.com or billc...@apache.org (AKA @grumpybozo and many *@billmail.scconsult.com addresses) Not Currently Available For Hire ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com https://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com https://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate
Re: [MlMt] sync bug
Follow up : what happens is that what I do in Mailmate no longer seems to be reflected on the server (as far as I understand) : if I delete or move a message in mailmate, it is not deleted nor moved when I open another mail client (Outlook on the Mac, or Preside on my iphone). How is that possible, and how can it be corrected? Alain Dear Bill, thank you for the explanations. This weekend when I launched Mailmate, I got the following warning (attached).

[MlMt] sync problems
I am currently using Mailmate (1.13.2) on 2 computers. When I delete emails from the Inbox on one (or move these emails into another maibox), then turn the computer off, and turn on the second one, a large number of « deleted » emails are still present in the Inbox (same for the « moved » emails). I am not sure whether this happens for all treated emails, or just some of them. Is this a (known?) problem due to the server, the app, something else? Alain PS : this also happens with Preside on the iPhone : « deleted » emails are still present. However I am not sure it touches the same emails on the Mac and the iPhone. PPS : my server is of the Exchange type PPPS : I just opened Mail, and I have the same problem.So it seems unrelated to Mailmate. ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com https://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate
