Well, it would help if the chain of „Re“ is not becoming longer. Which is 
currently the case. So, MM is adding a new level on a reply too.

So *MAYBE* you can make it work but you should make absolutely 
certain that you replicate extended attributes and when you fire up 
MM afterwards, WATCH what MM does and be prepared to kill it and work 
out any issues you have.


I can't imagine Benny recommending mail cache replication, given the 
risks that it carries.


To be honest, I hadn't really considered this problem case. Just for 
the record, I believe it should still work without these UIDs, because 
they are also stored in the database index files. The main purpose of 
the attribute is to help MailMate *if* it has to rebuild its database 
at a later time.


The problem I had was that MM did not see the message files in the cache 
that lacked a UID attribute as being the same message as the originals 
that were still on the server. It also refused to allow the deletion (or 
"reset") of the no-UID cached messages.

Re: [MlMt] “Identity” shorthand header

You have the submailboxes on the „all“ folder or only on your inbox? Maybe 
thats why your send messages are visible there?

I have my submailboxes only at the inbox

Re: [MlMt] auto-BCC the From address fails on one address of three

However, when I select the third From address from the pop-up menu,

Any ideas? (I'm running r5574. I just noticed this today when I 
updated, because I was playing with the new From pop-up; I don't know 
if it was a problem before.)


Given the work I've done on code related to this I would say it's most 
likely a new bug, but just to make sure you should try an older release 
like this one: 
https://updates.mailmate-app.com/archives/MailMate_r5523.tbz


In any case, see if you can spot anything which might make this third 
account different than the others (a quick attempt to reproduce your 
issue didn't succeed -- the Bcc header updates when I change the From 
header).

Maybe, it seems you are doing the right thing. Try sending me your 
`.plist` files in this folder (off list):


/Users//Library/Application Support/MailMate/

And I'll see if I can spot any problems (or reproduce a bug).

Good mailers just have one "Re: ".  No "whatever".


*Whatever* can be different language variants. In Danish it is ’Sv:

The use of localized prefixes is a design flaw I believe was introduced 
by Microsoft. They did not consider the consequences of doing this (or 
many other of the “changes” introduced by Microsoft).


The `Re:` prefix should not be seen as being an English word. It's a

The email client is free to *display* it localized which is what 
Microsoft should have done. And maybe MailMate will allow this to be 
done if it should some day be localized itself.

Hmm, that's an interesting problem which I'm not sure there's an easy

Re: [MlMt] Calendar invitations display as plain text by default

MailMate generally displays the HTML part of an email message when one 
is available. However, whenever I receive calendar invitations from 
Google Calendar, the plain text of the message is displayed rather 
than the HTML part. This means I have to switch the view of the 
message to HTML before I can use the links in the message to accept or 
reject the invitation. Is anyone else experiencing this, and is there 
a setting or a workaround that will make the HTML section of these 
messages display by default?


This is not an intentional “feature”, but calendar emails do some 
times have pretty weird structures which might trigger something to go 
wrong in MailMate. Could you send me an example using “Help ▸ Send 
Feedback”? (Drag an example into the email.)

That depends on your IMAP servers. I don't know how exactly MM handles 
tags/flags for IMAP accounts on servers that don't have full keyword

They are saved in the local database index files only. In other words, 
they are *lost* if rebuilding the database and/or refetching emails from 
the server(s).


With the exception of Exchange IMAP (which have numerous other issues) I 
believe IMAP servers without some support for IMAP keywords is 
relatively rare.


I still have on my todo list to also add support for mapping tags to 
file attributes. If combined with improved robustness when MailMate 
needs to rebuild the database (or when some Exchange IMAP server 
suddenly decides to reset all its UIDVALIDITY values) then that would 
also make storing tags locally only more robust...

Well, that depends on the network connection and the IMAP servers 
involved.


I'm mainly recommending the “clean start” approach to avoid 
potential issues with a custom location of the Messages folder and any 
issues arising from restoring from a backup (which is not 100% reliable 
because MailMate doesn't control the order in which files are backed 
up). (A clean start also ensures that the database is as small as it can 
be.)
