I've had this problem, too, and it is awkward, isn't it? You'd think you 
could set a Smart Mailbox as a *condition*.


The workaround I use is to define a third smart (dummy) mailbox, C. 
Then:


C is defined to contain everything which meets [set of other conditions]
A is defined to contain messages which are in *any* of the mailboxes: B 
or C.

Re: [MlMt] include contents of one smart mailbox in another

2020-11-10 Thread Shoshanna Green
Setting B as a source mailbox for A would mean that A's conditions would 
be applied to messages in B and the messages that meet them would be 
included in A, but messages in B that do not meet them wouldn't be. What 
I want is to define A with a nonexclusive OR: A's conditions need to be 
along the lines of


ANY OF:
 - is contained in B
 - [set of other conditions]

Is that clearer?

What stops you from setting mailbox B as the source for mailbox A?
If you do that, then the conditions you set for A apply only to mails 
that are shown in B.
You can have multiple source mailboxes for smart mailboxes, those 
being either true mailboxes, combo mailboxes or smart mailboxes.

change to B I have to remember to make the same change to A.


In other words, I'd like to be able to have a condition on A that 
says "is included in B" along with the usual conditions like "is from 
such-and-such address," "is unread," etc.


(I believe that if B is a submailbox of A I can just check the box on 
A's Mailboxes tab that says "Include messages in any submailboxes of 
this mailbox"? But I'm wondering if there's a way to do it when B is 
not a submailbox of A.) (Also I find that checkbox a bit 
counterintuitive, since the mailboxes listed on that tab are the ones 
to which the conditions will be applied; listing them there doesn't 
mean that the messages in them will automatically be included whether 
or not the conditions match. But that seems to be what the checkbox 
means for submailboxes. The checkbox would be more intuitive to me on 
the Conditions tab.)


Thanks for any help!

Hi, you add your own emojis via the Tags preferences pane of MailMate.


Thanks, but when I look at the column headed Tags(🔣) it's still 
always empty, even when I attach a tag (either a word or an emoji) to a 
message.
