Hi,

Any advice on best practice for archiving emails from MailMate?

My preference is to archive in DevonThink, which holds my email archives from the mid 2000s. But it seems that MailMate and Devonthink don't hook up, so I'm looking for other robust options that are Spotlight searchable. Any advice appreciated.


I'd like to do this in a more automated fashion as well - I've returned to DevonThink pretty heavily lately and would like my mail there as well.

The issue is, and Benny will correct me if I'm wrong, that MailMate doesn't do mbox; it's IMAP only. As such, you're really somewhat stuck putting it into a local archive.

When I want to archive something off of an IMAP server, I tend to run Mail.app, save the folder as a local mbox archive, and either import that to DevonThink, or, keep it in Tresorit (secure cloudy hosting) or just keep it on my backup drives.

It WOULD be nice if MailMate could archive an IMAP folder as Maildir format, or mbox, but I know that isn't really where the product is heading.

Scott
