Benny et al.,
I have two Gmail accounts (call them A and B). B is set to forward all
mail to A. Most of the time, I reply to all incoming messages using
account A. However, I occasionally want to be able to reply to a message
sent to B using the B account (*from* address), so I need to have
MailMate connected to B, as well as A. But I don’t want to see B
messages in my MM inbox or other incoming mail folders, since doing so
means that I’m seeing duplicate messages (the original copy in account
B and the forwarded copy in the account A inbox).
My question is, what’s the best way to achieve this? I see two options
(though there may be more).
1. In MM, edit subscriptions for B to remove (uncheck) **All Mail** and
**INBOX** (optionally leaving **Drafts**, **Sent Mail**, **Spam**, and
**Trash** checked)
2. In MM Account Settings for B, remove the IMAP Server
information/credentials and leave the SMTP Server credentials. (I
haven’t tried this so am not sure it would even work.)
My hunch is that option 1 is the way to go. I’ll add that I tried
implementing option 1 several times, and MailMate crashed every time
when I clicked the **Apply** button in the IMAP Account Settings dialog.
I eventually discovered that I could unsubscribe from **INBOX** without
causing a crash but not **All Mail**. I finally got it to work (I think)
by opening the **Edit Subscriptions…** dialog and unchecking **All
Mail**, clicking **OK**, and then taking MailMate offline (i.e.,
disconnecting my ethernet cable) before clicking the **Apply** button in
the IMAP Account Settings dialog. I think I then quit MM before
reconnecting the ethernet cable, restarting MM, and syncing my accounts.
This time, MM didn’t crash, and both **INBOX** and **All Mail** are
still unsubscribed.
Thank you,
