Hi Mailmates,
Since some of you have been sharing neat tidbits, I thought I'd share
one of my favorites: customizable counters.
Each mailbox can have a "Displayed Count" next to it, showing by
default: All, Unread, Flagged, Unreplied, and Recent. However, the
counters can be configured with pretty much anything. For example, I
have a counter called "Outgoing" which lists messages that are about to
be sent (I use time delay, so this shows me what messages are waiting to
be sent). I use it on the "Drafts" mailbox. This is a small thing, but
neat and quite useful for those using delay, without needing an
independent smart mailbox.
As far as I can tell, you can take a set of conditions from any smart
mailbox and create a counter. Open Mailboxes.plist and copy out the
"filter" associated with the smart mailbox. Create countMenu.plist in
~/Library/Application Support/Mailmate/Resources, following this format
:
{
counts = (
{ key = "outgoing"; title = "Outgoing"; filter = "#relay
exists"; },
);
}
Insert your own filter after "filter = " and there you go. Off the top
of my head, the 'trick' can be used to show some important subset of the
Inbox, messages with important keywords, etc.
Thanks for a great app, Benny.

I just discovered that MailMate has a function equivalent to the mail
concatenation feature of Eudora. I am in 7th heaven, and I thought to
share this discovery! I saw the setting for this in the preferences
quite a while ago but only now clicked what it really means. For those
wondering what I am talking about:
If I double-click a message in MailMate, it opens that message in a
new window. Nothing special here.
If I double-click a message holding the shift key, MailMate sets a
filter that shows all messages with the same subject or whatever
column I was clicking. This is pretty much the same what option-click
did in Eudora. MM refers to this functionality as searching for
related messages.
Tip: select the message before you double-click it, so MM does not use
the first click to select multiple messages.
