I read your [Mavericks, Gmail, Apple Mail, and MailMate]

blog post (and the related [mailing list message]
(http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg01115.html))
in which you wrote, “Recently, I implemented a workaround in
MailMate for the problem of multiple labels. It is currently an
experimental solution and you can enable it following the instructions
in the release notes for version 1.7.” I note that you wrote that
blog post in 2013, and so I’m wondering if/how you have changed MM
since. In particular, is the solution/approach you describe
(“MailMate can be told to handle specific Gmail labels as if they
were tags”) still experimental? Or have you since incorporated it as
a standard MM feature or deprecated it entirely? After 3.5 years, it
seems likely that you would have done one or the other. Since
https://manual.mailmate-app.com/account_setup makes no mention of
this, I’m not sure what to conclude.
Very understandable. I *think* it's pretty stable now, but I'm not
getting a lot of feedback on it (which is kind of a good sign). By
default, MailMate still does not subscribe to the “[Gmail]/All Mail”
folder. My current recommendation for the best integration of Gmail
labels should probably be:
* Subscribe to “[Gmail]/All Mail”.
* Setup a tag in MailMate for each Gmail label that is used like a tag.
That is, don't do it if the label is used just like a mailbox (like
manually sorting emails into folders).
It's probably best to update to the latest test release though since I
believe I've fixed a bug which could some times lead to busy-looping
when synchronizing the All Mail mailbox: Hold down ⌥ when clicking
“Check Now” in the Software Update preferences pane.
I can imagine that you might be heartily sick of answering such
questions, but I would sincerely appreciate any guidance you can
provide.
Thanks for understanding. I know I sometimes tend to complain about the
work needed to make things work well with Gmail.
And yes, I really should update the documentation on Gmail. I'll try
hard to do that soon.
Thank you for creating and continuing to support MailMate.
Thanks for your patience.
