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).
There is currently no way to get, e.g., colored lines. The best you can
do is to use tags (or maybe colored flags) and then enable the
“Tags” column in the messages list. There's also an emoji variant of
this column. The idea here is that you can assign an emoji in the Tags
preferences pane to a tag and this is then used in a narrow Tags column.
Emojis are accessed in a text field by hitting ⌃⌘+space.
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?
It affects the color of the flag of any flagged messages. It's how Apple
Mail handles colored flags.
Why is it necessary to remove the flags not being set? Is that just
in case some other rule set them,
Yes. Each color has a specific bit pattern.
(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?
If a default mailbox does not exist which matches the emails you want
then you might need a smart mailbox. But there is a default set of
universal mailboxes (one Inbox for all inboxes etc.) and also one named
“All Messages” which contains anything but junk/trash (I don't think
rules for this mailbox is very useful though). Rules themselves can also
have conditions if you just need to narrow it down a bit.
