MailMate (still) does not map tags (or flags)
to Finder tags if that's what you are asking
for. MailMate does support the colored flags
seen in Apple Mail, but it's (still) cumbersome
to actually use this in filters/actions. This
is because a colored flag is actually a set of
IMAP keywords as illustrated by the default key
bindings for setting flag colors:
"F" = {
"0" = ( "removeTag:", "\\Flagged",
"removeTag:", "$MailFlagBit0", "removeTag:",
"$MailFlagBit1", "removeTag:", "$MailFlagBit2"
);
"1" = ( "setTag:", "\\Flagged",
"removeTag:", "$MailFlagBit0", "removeTag:",
"$MailFlagBit1", "removeTag:", "$MailFlagBit2"
);
"2" = ( "setTag:", "\\Flagged",
"setTag:", "$MailFlagBit0", "removeTag:",
"$MailFlagBit1", "removeTag:", "$MailFlagBit2"
);
"3" = ( "setTag:", "\\Flagged",
"removeTag:", "$MailFlagBit0", "setTag:",
"$MailFlagBit1", "removeTag:", "$MailFlagBit2"
);
"4" = ( "setTag:", "\\Flagged",
"setTag:", "$MailFlagBit0", "setTag:",
"$MailFlagBit1", "removeTag:", "$MailFlagBit2"
);
"5" = ( "setTag:", "\\Flagged",
"removeTag:", "$MailFlagBit0", "removeTag:",
"$MailFlagBit1", "setTag:", "$MailFlagBit2"
);
"6" = ( "setTag:", "\\Flagged",
"setTag:", "$MailFlagBit0", "removeTag:",
"$MailFlagBit1", "setTag:", "$MailFlagBit2"
);
"7" = ( "setTag:", "\\Flagged",
"removeTag:", "$MailFlagBit0", "setTag:",
"$MailFlagBit1", "setTag:", "$MailFlagBit2"
);
};
Let me rephrase my question: I like being able to
have messages show with different colors, and I
currently use Eudora's "Make Label" action in
filters (rules) to have messages show with one of
14 different labels. For example, if a message
is from person A, it will have label color 1
applied; if it was sent to my address B, it will
have label color 2 applied; different labels are
applied if my email is in the To header field for
some accounts or if my name appears early in the
body. Eudora happens to leverage Finder labels
for this purpose, but that's an accident of
implementation, not anything fundamental. What's
important is having messages in the same mailbox
look different in the message list (table of
contents).
Not having used MailMate for real yet, I haven't
tried setting rules yet. In the example above,
do the flags $MailFlagBit1 and $MailFlagBit2
affect the display of the messages in the mailbox
message list? Why is it necessary to remove the
flags not being set? Is that just in case some
other rule set them, or is it needed for some
other reason?
(2) Can rules be global, applicable to all
mailboxes, or can rules be inherited?
Rules can be configured for any mailbox, both
IMAP and smart mailboxes. In other words, they
can apply to any set of messages for which you
can create a smart mailbox. There's no
inheritance involved with regard to rules.
Can a set of rules apply to all mailboxes in an
account, or all mailboxes in all accounts? Or
would this require either copying the rules, or
creating a smart mailbox that contained all
messages in all mailboxes?
(3) When replying, is there good support for
in-line replying (where you alternate between
quoted content and your reply), and does
MailMate support Format=Flowed (display and
generation)?
Yes, I use MailMate to do inline replies
myself. The format=flowed support should be
excellent. If you find a bug then it'll be very
high on my list to fix it.
Terrific, thank you.
