I tend to file my messages in folders for different projects when I am done with them.

On Thunderbird, I have been using the "Nostalgy" plugin, which lets me write rules that automatically provide default save folders. E.g., I can have a rule that says that a message from customer of Project X that's in my work email inbox should go into folder "project X".

Is there any way to do something like this in MailMate? Note that I'm not looking for rules that dump email *directly* into these folders -- I'm just looking for help selecting the folder when I have already indicated I want to file an email.

I assume you have found the “Rules” pane in the mailbox editor. If I understand correctly you need a way to only trigger such rules when explicitly asking MailMate to do so. Like an “Auto Archive” button.

One way to do that:

* Go to the Tags preferences pane to create an “AutoArchive” tag.
* Create a smart mailbox based on your Inbox which has the condition that the emails must be tagged “AutoArchive”.
* Add rules to this smart mailbox which archives the emails.

Now, whenever you need to auto archive something you'll select all emails in the Inbox (using ⌘A) and then hit `t` to add the “AutoArchive” tag. You can also create a custom key binding to add this tag with a single shortcut. Or use the Tag popup in the toolbar.

I hope this helps.
