I’m also a happy DEVONThink (and MailMate) user, and even more so 
since recently migrating from Evernote.


Just wanted to mention that if you’re affiliated with a University 
(student, staff, faculty), there’s currently a 40% off sale through 
Sept 18th. I’m pretty sure I initially bought DEVONThink via one of 
these sales. Anyway, just wanted to drop that bit of info into the bucket.

Devonthink is overkill - it has a lot of document management 
capabilities that are not needed. (And the price reflects it.) 
Managing PDFs, taking notes and excerpts from them, linking among 
documents, built-in OCR, and on and on.


For about 10 years I have used EagleFiler for archiving email. It’s 
written by the same person who does SpamSieve, and managing giant 
email is one of its main use cases. $40 and well supported.

I would only consider Devonthink you have OTHER uses for it. If not, 
check Eaglefiler.

Devonthink is similar to Evernote in that you can store notes, pdfs, 
etc in a database. But Devonthink takes a different approach than 
Evernote.


Evernote is an online service (at least if you want to take full 
advantage of the available features) that has clients on a large 
number of platforms. EN stores notes etc in HTML format but it can 
also "embed" files, photos, etc in those pages. The OCR is pretty, 
organization and searching is average, there is good support from 
various other apps/services to use EN. From my point of view I think 
it works best as a capture device for web pages - I don't like it very 
much from a note taking view (the formatting is also troublesome when 
working on different platforms). Biggest problem for me is that it 
modifies plain text files when they are stored as notes (tabs etc are 
removed since the text is stored as HTML), also no Markdown support.


Devonthink on the other hand is a "local app", i.e. there is no cloud 
where you store the data instead everything lives on your Mac (more 
about this later). You can create any number of databases, you can 
organize each database as you like - for example in a hierarchical 
fashion (folders within folders). You can store almost any kind of 
data in its original form - so a text file stays a text file, a word 
file is a word file. Actually, you can tell Devonthink to index files 
/outside/ the database which means that you can leave your Word files 
as normal files in a folder somewhere on your harddisk but DT will 
index them and make them searchable from within DT. DT also contains a 
web browser, a very powerful search engine, some "AI" to help you 
categorize and find material, etc. It also supports templates and is 
highly scriptable/extensible.


Evernote have had the convenience advantage because of the syncing and 
the availability on many platforms while DT has pretty much won 
everything else except OCR (EN is more convenient).


They both have user interfaces that be considered ... "rough". EN has 
an almost flat "learning curve" while DT will surprise you for years 
you with functionality that you didn't know existed.


I've used both on-and-off for a long time. And until this summer 
Evernote has won because of the convenience aspect, but this summer 
Devon Technologies released a new syncing engine together with a new 
iOS client ... which makes a huge difference. The convenience 
advantage is now gone for Evernote (I'm all macOS/iOS) so I'm now 
moving my important stuff to DT - will probably continue to use EN for 
sharing documents etc within the family but otherwise I'm going to DT.

One of the files are:

So yes, smart mailboxes will show up on the new mailmate you run on

About what it does: it simply copies the configuration files mailmate

Yes, as noted, smart mailboxes are part of this file. When launching 
MailMate on the destination machine then they should show up. But 
there is no synchronization involved here. If you change anything on 1 
machine then it's not reflected on the other machine. In other words, 
this is a manual way to move some settings from 1 machine to another 
machine.


I hope that answers your question.

You can, but you shouldn't.

Markdown is perfect for emails since it is based on email tradition. 
In other words, even if Markdown is not converted to HTML then it's 
(mostly) readable. MailMate marks outgoing emails as being based on 
Markdown and MailMate itself uses this to be smarter when 
replying/forwarding such emails. It would be quite bad if something is 
marked as Markdown when it isn't.


Technically, MailMate currently heavily relies on exactly how the 
Markdown is generated, but this could probably be solved. When/if it 
is then I could probably allow custom Markdown converters or even 
other markup languages. It's not at the top of my list though.


Slightly off topic, I'm strongly considering switching from `sundown` 
to `CommonMark`, but the latter does not support any kind of tables. 
I'll be interested if anyone has a solution to this problem. It might 
actually be best if MailMate handles it similarly to how it handles 
math and syntax highlighted segments. In other words, HTML table 
generation could be handled separately from the Markdown conversion 
(also allowing more than 1 table format). Well, just thinking out 
loud.

Thanks a lot. None of this is trivial for me. Question about 
“othermachine.local”: is “local” the actual word?


How does rsync work? I’ve never done this.

I'm pretty sure it's Library/Application Support/MailMate.

Open a terminal window on the machine with the good MailMate setup.  
Then do

this:

	rsync -avH 'Library/Application Support/MailMate' 
othermachine.local:'Library/Application Support'


where you replace 'othermachine' by the name of the destination 
computer.  If it includes any blanks, enclose it in quotes per the

Re: [MlMt] Urgent: inbox discrepancy

2016-05-12 Thread Howard Wettstein

I think I did it right or sort of.
I took all folders offline and then put the INBOX on line. No change 
noted. The Ucr/Google (the main account) under SOURCES is still spinning 
all the time.


When all folders were visible, I noted a few that were in red with the 
indication “(failed)” next to the title. These behaved strangely, 
sometimes sort of resisting going offline or back online.

This is strange, but the goal is still to make MailMate show 138 
messages, because that's what's in the account. I don't know why Apple

Tried to do it, but probably didn’t do it right. When I expand and

I assume you checked in MailMate. If you enable the UID column (View

So Mailmate moved it properly.


Not really :( We need to figure out why MailMate does not complete the

kind of looping behavior — maybe related to a very large number of 
mailboxes. It also means that you have persistent spinners in the 
mailbox list.


I suggest you take most of your mailboxes offline in the account 
(again to simplify the issue). Hold down ⌥ when you expand the Gmail 
account under SOURCES to expand the entire hierarchy. Then use ⇧ to 
select all of the mailboxes in the account and then use “Mailbox ▸ 
Take Offline”. Finally, take the INBOX online and maybe the 
destination mailbox of the moved message. Then wait to see if this 
synchronizes (spinners stop and the message gets a UID).


Oh, and don't send your logs to the list. They could contain sensitive 
data (mailbox names, email addresses, etc.).


I hope this wasn't too unclear.

It could be incomplete moves out of your Inbox in MailMate. This could 
happen if the destination mailbox is not online (or hasn't finished 
synchronizing for some reason). Check under SOURCES in the mailbox 
list that all mailboxes in the account are online (not greyed out).

Re: [MlMt] Error message

2016-05-09 Thread Howard Wettstein
Relining does not help. Here’s the situation and the sequence of 
steps:


I have lots of folders and subfolders; it’s a gmail account but 
through my university and the address is ho...@ucr.edu
I had been using Apple Mail, but I much prefer your program. I’m just 
learning as I go.


Sequence of steps: for some reason, a first level folder (with lots of 
subfolders) got moved and I found this first level folder and all it’s 
contents as a subfolder of another folder. So I tried to move the whole 
thing to be where it belongs, as a first level folder. I did it by drag 
and drop and the stuff (all or certainly most of it) did move, but I 
can’t delete what remains as an extensive sub-folder. I can’t 
imagine that this is clear. Anyway, I’m happy to explain further.

It looks like it's already deleted, but for some reason MailMate does 
not know this. Relaunching might clear this up, but if it doesn't then 
I'd like to debug the issue. (Ideally, I'd like a sequence of steps 
which reproduces the issue, but that might be tricky since I suspect 
race conditions could be involved.)


There's a (possibly) separate issue. The `[THROTTLED]` part of the 
response means that there has been more traffic between you and the 
server than Google allows. This should only happen when initially 
synchronizing a large account. Otherwise, it's a sign that something 
is “looping”. Is it a large account in terms of the number of 
messages and/or an account with a large number of mailboxes?

Yes. Select the Inbox and then “Mailbox ▸ Edit Mailbox...”. 
Switch to the Rules pane and click on + to add a rule.


But if you have multiple devices and it's a simple rule (not requiring 
advanced MailMate features) then you should setup a 
[filter](https://support.google.com/mail/answer/6579?hl=en) in Gmail 
instead. That way it happens server-side and works on all of your

3. In this message I’m currently typing, There is a yellow bar at the 
top: “Markdown syntax detected…” What’s that about?
4. How can I insert italics in a message? I obviously don’t know 
anything about Markdown.

Thanks a million.
Howie

Only the first two tabs are needed, the other two are optional.

Mailboxes: In what mailbox(s) do you want to search. In most cases it 
will be "All messages"


Conditions: This is the search(es) you want to do. I have e.g. a few 
that search for Any Address > Domain is "example.com". This will 
create a smart folder that shows all mails to and from the domain 
"example.com".


You also have a pretty good manual at 
<https://manual.mailmate-app.com/> with a lot more info.

This bothers me a lot, too. So much power, and so little information! 
I'm a pretty good reference sleuth, but I don't know how to even begin 
to decipher these, among many others:

Very helpful. Thanks very much.
Can you say a little bit to get me started on smart folders? How to use 
the 4 tabs: Mailboxes, Conditions, Submailboxes, Rules?

Yes it's a security thing, go to "Preferences… -> Security" and 
there you have the image blocking settings.


Apple Mail and Postbox (I’ve used them) support rules, so that one 
can move inbox messages to pre-assigned folders. I don’t see how to 
do that, except with smart folders that I’ll mention in a minute.


In MailMate you set them per mailbox. Right click e.g. the "Inbox" and 
select "Edit mailbox". Last tab is "Rules".


Rules are only run on mail as they are added to a mailbox. In other 
mail clients I used a lot of rules, in MailMate I almost only use the 
smart folders instead.


Smart folders seem very useful, but I don’t know what I’m doing. 
I have a pretty elaborate folder structure that was imported from a 
university gmail account that I was using through Apple Mail.


Smart folders are saved searches and they are really smart and really 
fast. I file away everything in "Archive" and use smart folders to 
bring order.


I prefer them from normal folders since I can have mail shop up in 
multiple smart folders. A mail can e.g. shop up in a company smart 
folder and a project smart folder at the same time.


With smart folders it' also easy to make changes without needing to 
move any messages.

Re: [MlMt] new user help

2016-04-21 Thread Howard Wettstein

Hi Gary,
Thanks very much for the reply. I’ve got it going, better than I 
feared. It’s got all my folders laid out correctly. I’m collecting 
mail and able to move messages to the appropriate folders. Here are some 
questions and areas I could use help with. Whatever you have time for is 
fine.


1. The yellow box: Blocked 1 external reference. I’m sure it’s a 
security thing but I’m not sure what or how. What’s that about? Is 
there a way to turn it off.


2. Apple Mail and Postbox (I’ve used them) support rules, so that one 
can move inbox messages to pre-assigned folders. I don’t see how to do 
that, except with smart folders that I’ll mention in a minute.


3. Smart folders seem very useful, but I don’t know what I’m doing. 
I have a pretty elaborate folder structure that was imported from a 
university gmail account that I was using through Apple Mail. How do 
smart folders improve on this. I’m sure they do; but I don’t quite 
get it. Also, in smart folders I don’t understand what each of the 
settings is all about folders, conditions, rules, etc.


4. I also don’t get tags — I use them in Evernote but not sure what 
they add here, esp. with smart folders available.


5. Simpler I think: how do I italicize a phrase in composing an email. I 
see that I type in sort of raw form and it’s duplicated in a nice font 
below. But how to I get that font to be bold or italics, etc.?


Thanks for any hints on how to proceed.

Howie

Are you stuck on any particular thing? Have you got MailMate 
downloading your email from your accounts yet?
