is rumored to have said:
Regarding smart mailboxes, my understanding has always been that it
is impossible to maintain them between 2 computers (running
Mailmate). Does any workaround exist?
It is theoretically possible to keep 2 MailMate instances' mailboxes
in synch by synchronizing ~/Library/Application
Support/MailMate/Mailboxes.plist between the 2 Macs. Unfortunately, to
do this *safely* you must only do the sync when both instances are not
running, because that's the only way you can be sure that the file is
current and self-consistent and that MM will load a newly-synched
file. It also contains definitions for all of the subscribed "source"
mailboxes and all the rules associated with all mailboxes, so you
can't easily only synch a subset like 'smart mailboxes.' This also
implies the same collection of source accounts on both machines, so it
is prudent to also sync the Sources.plist file whenever you sync
Mailboxes.plist.
So, in practice it is not something that is simply automated to get
'live' synchronization.
But if you are looking at the same IMAP sources, why not just recreate
the smart mailbox on the 2nd and subsequent machine - surely that gives
you what you want? This assumes you are not changing the rules every 5
minutes of course.
