Hi folks, recent refugee from Apple Mail here and looking for some
guidance. Hoping to make MailMate my daily driver and subscribe to
support if it all works for me. I've searched the mailing list archives
a bit but having trouble coming up with some features and ways of
working that I'm used to. Apologies for the random smattering of
questions, I can split them up into different threads if that's better.
I'm having some issues with URL and email parsing in message bodies when
reading. URLs written in plain text (or in HTML email but outputted as
text) are only sometimes clickable. I think it might have to do with
lines -- the first URL in a given line turns into a clickable link when
reading but subsequent ones don't, though maybe I have that wrong.
Similar for emails, I'd like them to turn into clickable mailto: links,
but they don't seem to. Is it possible to change the way message text is
parsed or customize it at all?
Thread view seems great! But I seem to have issues with it.
First, when I open a thread inline with the right arrow key, it only
opens the next "level" of the thread. Is there a way to get right arrow
to open the entire thread inline? Is there a different keyboard shortcut
to do that?
Threads are also not sorted in the way my inbox is sorted (newest up
top) -- can thread ordering be reversed or match the overall inbox
ordering? (This goes for "thread view" as well, there is no sorting
options there, can that be changed?)
When I open a thread (either in thread view or inline), I'd like the
next unread conversation to be selected, so I can easily read it. Is
that an option or keyboard shortcut?
Is there a way to read all messages in a thread in one window? Pressing
return on a thread only opens up the first message. I know I can open
multiple messages by selecting them all and pressing return. Is there a
way that if I'm on a thread it would automatically open all on return or
some other keyboard shortcut like Apple Mail's opening of all messages
in a thread behavior?
Is there a keyboard shortcut to go to the next or previous message in a
thread when in the message reading window? Thinking of how I can mimic
Apple Mail's thread reading view, where all previous and next messages
are just a scroll away.
Thread view often missed parts of a thread, like if I've replied, I
don't see my reply there, though I do see the reply icon saying I did in
fact reply. Sometimes it works, but sometimes not. Why is it
inconsistent?
How do I see and edit all keyboard shortcuts? I feel like I'm missing a
lot of features.
Typing in the To: field is often very slow (10 sec beach ball of death
stall). I think it's because it's trying to load and cache all the
typeahead options from contacts, sent mail, etc... After loading once
it's good and fast for a bit (while it's cached I'm guessing) and then
it's slow again. This was never an issue in Apple Mail. How can I speed
it up here?
Is MailMate open source or can folks contribute? I'd be willing to lend
a hand with some of this if I could...
And overall, any advice from former Apple Mail users who actually liked
the way Apple Mail worked, it just didn't reliably sync with big IMAP
inboxes? Any recommended setup or customizations to make me feel at
home?
Thanks all!
