Basic approach: If your email provider allows you to create as many mailboxes (folders) as you need on his mailserver, you can use MailMate as you have used Apple Mail in the past. Instead of smart mailboxes just create (normal) mailboxes (= New IMAP Mailbox) on the sever. In such a mailbox yo

Hi, I have to deal with about 100 emails a day and many concurrent action threads. Those action threads are lasting from a couple of days up to several months. For business related things I'm using a CRM system to keep track of all activities. However, I don't want to use a CRM for my private th

I got an error message when I started MM today. The problem was tiny. As I recall it was a 60 KB discrepancy in the size of the mail data. MM then gave me a choice: Rebuild from server Rebuild from cache (I don’t know what cache that refers to) Do nothing. Then I must either Shut Down, or Re

IMAP is better if you have more than one device. You can see a message on your phone and delete it; your laptop will never see it. However, you can also decide that this is a message you can't handle on your phone, so you leave it on the server and deal with it later from your laptop. It's a s

I've read a bunch of stuff about how MailMate works, but I'm still confused about where all of the emails live. I have been using email since the early 1990s. I have used POP3 this entire time. Downloading emails to my computer and deleting them off of the server has worked well for me. I'm

I am new to MailMate and switched to mm by our tech guy. He isn’t very accessible so here I am. I really need help setting up my folders like I previously had on apple mail. I want to be able to read a message and move it to a folder for storage and search ability later. I understand I can’t mov
