[MlMt] Tags / Label funkyness with Gmail
I'm using Gmail. No, it wasn't my choice. I'm having an issue creating new tags or labels. Currently my gmail accounts return this: S: H11 BAD Invalid Arguments: Label name is not allowed: todos Error: Server response: “H11 BAD Invalid Arguments: Label name is not allowed: todos”. Here's how I've setup tags: http://l.kehn.io/image/031o0k112x0i That \ before the IMAP keyword is something I tried because I saw other keywords had that. I'm not exactly a power IMAP user yet so I will be making some mistakes here. Question is, why is that label name not allowed, why isn't it using the Gmail label instead, and what can I do to fix this? Thanks, -Josh ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com http://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate

Question is, why is that label name not allowed, why isn't it using the Gmail label instead, and what can I do to fix this? I just tried with a label named “todomail” and that was not a problem. Then I tried “todos” and that failed just like it did for you. Apparently Gmail disallows certain label names. It would be nice if that was documented somewhere... Ah, Google to the rescue (kind of ironic). I found this [link](http://blogoscoped.com/archive/2006-11-01-n68.html). Apparently “todos” means “All Mail” in Spanish/Portuguese... I guess that provides an implicit list of all illegal Gmail label names: Any standard Gmail mailbox name in any language supported by Gmail. Theoretically, this means they cannot add any new languages without making some existing mailbox names illegal. I'm sure someone at Google has regretted this design decision (although I understand their reasoning). The best way to create a label might be to create it using Gmail on the web. I assume any illegal label names are then immediately rejected. You may want to enable the “Raw Flags” column in the messages outline to see what has been assigned to your messages while experimenting. -- Benny ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com http://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com http://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate

Done, that was a really informative post, thanks!

// ...
4 = { specifier = "body"; type="noTabs"; parsers = (
"words", "FogBugz" ); };

};
FogBugz = {

An hour of exploring seems to indicate that KM can't access the commands for switching accounts and turn off the signature easily. That might be wrong. I'm not an expert on the use of Keyboard Maestro. There are shortcuts to open the menus (⌃⌘I and ⌃⌘S) and then some automated arrowing-down would be needed. Maybe someone else can provide a clear answer. There are probably many ways to do this.. what's easy? A template to call up my form letter? Templated replies are still very experimental, but it's possible using the replyMessage output action for bundle commands described earlier today on this mailing list. That is still very low level and probably not a viable solution for you. It would be possible though to create a bundle using this feature which provided a GUI for selecting template answers, but I cannot promise anything like that soon. (It might even be possible to control signature and from-address, but I'm not 100% sure about that.) P.S.

Re: [MlMt] Dispatch for iOS
Was checking this out today as well, so far it's great.

Dispatch for iOS is an IMAP-only email client that communicates with OmniFocus (at least with OmniFocus 2).

I have backspace mapped to archive an item, mark it as seen, and remove any flags.

It's not marking the other archived messages as seen / removing flags.

[MlMt] Extremely slow performance (UI and actions) on a clean setup
I setup MailMate on a new computer. For the most part I've gotten everything fixed up (custom keyboard shortcuts and the like). However, all the sources continually spin. This is both Gmail _and_ non-Gmail (FastMail) accounts. I've gotten 2-3 beachballs just typing this message. Archiving a message takes ~5-10s for the UI to confirm it's done, then a beachball. The only thing I can think of is this is a download/import thing but they are all IMAP accounts. Shouldn't it limit how many messages it downloads from the server at once? --jk___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com http://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate
Re: [MlMt] Extremely slow performance (UI and actions) on a clean setup
No, MailMate is a fully offline email client which means it fetches all emails in all of your accounts. This can take some time, especially for large Gmail accounts since Google throttles the bandwidth. Got it. I've got everything synced now and MailMate is back to it's usual snappy performance. --jk On 5 Jan 2015, at 15:17, Benny Kjær Nielsen wrote: On 5 Jan 2015, at 17:06, Joshua Kehn wrote: I setup MailMate on a new computer.

I guess I should describe that in more detail :-) (I'll also provide a simpler solution further below.) I'm going to assume you haven't used Github or git before: * Create an account at [github.com]() * Go to the [OmniFocus bundle](https://github.com/mailmate/omnifocus.mmbundle) github page. * Click the Fork button to create your own repository. * Now make a clone of your forked copy: ~/Library/Application Support/MailMate/Bundles git clone https://github.com/name>/omnifocus.mmbundle.git * Make your changes. * Test your changes. * Learn how to use `git` ;-) * Commit/push your changes using `git`. * Optionally, send me a pull request for any changes of general interest to OmniFocus users. Alternatively, you can share your changes with co-workers by having them clone your forked copy of the bundle. Now, if you have never used `git` and don't want to then here is the quick approach: cd ~/Library/Application Support/MailMate/Bundles git clone https://github.com/mailmate/omnifocus.mmbundle.git Now you can make all of your changes locally. (Note that it should not be necessary to relaunch MailMate when you make changes.)
