I am evaluating a move to MailMate from Superhuman so am new to MailMate for the past seven days. I really love MailMate but would miss the reminder functions (or remind if the recipient does not respond).

I am trying to replicate these use cases:

1. I send an email at mark it to be returned to my inbox if I do not receive a response from the recipient in x days 2. I receive an email which I would like to defer actions for x days to mark it to be archived and returned to my inbox in x days

In my attempt to accomplish this (maybe I am missing a much better way)


I have set up tags for days I want to “sleep” the messages (e.g., ‘1-days’, ‘3-days’, ‘7-days’, ‘30-days’) and created a smart inbox where all of the messages are shown (with nested *Smart Mailbox*’s to process each of the tags. I have also created a tag ‘Returned’.

I am close with the following questions/issues:

1. Is it possible to use the “Last Viewed” date rather than the “Date Received” in a filter or rule? So I can set the deferral period from the date I am viewing the message and can easily reset the deferral time?

2. Would a rule allow me to remove the sleep tag when another email in that thread is received? So the reminder turns off if an email is received in the thread.

Thanks so much!

Best,
Miles
