[MlMt] Big Sur Printing - cmd-P crashes Version 1.13.2 (5673)
Hello - just upgraded to Big Sur, and while basically everything appears to be working ok, I am having trouble with printing in MM Version 1.13.2 (5673). I sometimes bring up the print dialog to save certain emails as PDFs. Now in Big Sur, when I do cmd-P to print, MM just crashes. I confirmed that I can print to printers from other apps, so, it does not appear to be the printer drivers. Also, I can do cmd-P and print to PDF from other apps. Any idea what this might be? (setting aside the obvious risk of upgrading like this :) Sincerely, Rick ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com https://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate

Re: [MlMt] Alternate mail service
> What are “IMAP mailers”? > Mail clients/apps? IMAP servers? Hi Dave - sorry, I mean to say that that app ProtonMail provides does not necessarily work with all mail clients. I think P.M. mentioned Outlook and a couple others that they had tested and certified. I did not want to be constrained that way.

Re: [MlMt] Alternate mail service
> …a “bridge” daemon(?) …handles en/decryption locally and IMAP interface to > mail clients More correctly, I came to understand their "bridge" is _not_ guaranteed to work with all IMAP mailers, and that was primarily why I selected MailFence over ProtonMail, even though though the former does not have mobile clients yet (I’m using Canary on iOS mobile for better or worse).

Re: [MlMt] Scripting EagleFiler Archiving

Benny, hi - I find that the current script just opens the "top most" library FYI. It’s good to specify though, in case you’re using EF for various things and don’t want to have a bunch of mail suddenly appear in a library where it’s not wanted. I made a gist with what I think might work. https://gist.github.com/RickCogley/2ee550fe42331f66357776bd9f1e30b1 Sorry to be thick, but how do I test it? Also, since this entails specifying a path that would be different person to person, then can we store the path in say, a `defaults write` or something?

That’s great, thanks! However, I wonder, if I have multiple EagleFiler libraries, how can I force the emails to be archived to the one I want? Is it possible?

Re: [MlMt] Non MM related question about email hosting and web hosting
Hello - > email host and simple web host for personal, non-commercial use … > static website… > price b/w 70-100 USD I have been using Webfaction for a long time, but they got bought by GoDaddy, a move which I’m not comfortable with. They have been fine for both email and web/app hosting, for the many years I’ve used them and, they have great support. That being said I’m thinking about changing to something else and both Gandi and MediaTemple look good for shared hosting. I use Hugo for many sites, and host many of those on Amazon AWS S3 with Cloudfront. It’s trivial and cheap to host static on S3. Hugo’s own Bep coded an excellent utility that works perfectly in an rsync-like way, to get your static files up to S3. https://github.com/bep/s3deploy I’ve recently moved my private email to host on Mailfence which has good PGP support, and so far, they’ve been very clear and straight with what they can and cannot do. The support has been excellent. Their service also includes calendar, contacts and a file store, so that you can move away from something like Gmail. When I researched it, ProtonMail needs a helper app on the desktop, to allow you to use IMAP apparently, and this helper supports only certain mailers. I dropped them from consideration when I heard that, because I was set on using Mailmate and unwilling to spend the time to test. A lot of the email services in Europe make the point about their being non-US and therefore less subject to the possibility of invasive monitoring. They all support S/MIME or PGP in their browser apps, which is a nice convenience to be able to encrypt if you’re away from your main mailer. But, to me the main point is not the availability of PGP in their apps but rather their businesses’ locations. I can use PGP in Mailmate and in Canary on iOS, without regard to service. I would be wary of Fastmail and linked services, given what’s happening vis-à-vis privacy in Australia. Re mailbox size, well, you’re always going to hit a limit and keep having to pay more (after all, private mail providers are businesses which are not benefiting from your attention to their ads), so I would recommend a regiment of offloading your old emails to disk, via something like EagleFiler. Some kind soul even made a bundle in MM for it. You don’t mention the time unit for your price range but I can say: * Mailfence is ~ USD 3-4 per month * Webfaction has been ~ USD 10 per month * Static site on A3 is honestly negligible if low traffic and low file volume (but, it ain’t apache so you have to get used to some things) Re Netlify, it is indeed slick & tempting, but the free level requires payment for add-ons, such as the one that allows password protection. If you want that sort of thing included by default, it jumps to the "Team Pro" level (smallest level) @ USD 45/mo. Just some food for thought. -- Rick Cogley M: +81-90-9959-5452 signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com https://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate
[MlMt] Scripting EagleFiler Archiving
Hello - I have been archiving my email using the EagleFiler bundle, from within the useful Examples/Years sample smart folders. Just select a year, and use the bundle to get it into the active EagleFiler archive. What I’d like to do is keep up to 3 years of email in my various IMAP accounts, but automatically archive anything older than that. I haven’t tried it but, I think I can probably make a smart folder that shows anything older than 3 years, without trouble. Then of course I can just select those results and use the bundle to push to EagleFiler, then delete the emails from the MailMate smart folder, one I confirm. But I’d like to automate it. How could I script this: * take the results of said smart folder * run it through the EagleFiler bundle, to a specific EagleFiler archive * delete the results after they are archived Is it possible?

Bill - that's a good point. So far, EagleFiler has been good. I've got 7GB of files in 68K records, and search results appear instantaneously. I have not tried anything fancy yet but, it's snappy. > I had enough performance problems with too-large folders that I wrote > a Python script to split them by date, as subfolders of a new parent. Steven - yeah, it might really come to that. Also I need to do this either automatically or, more often than every decade! :-) Thanks for the comments! -- Rick Cogley M: +81-90-9959-5452 signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com https://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate
Re: [MlMt] dealing with large mailboxes
> how are folk dealing with this? I’m new to MM but I’m using EagleFiler for filing. It just copies each email as an `.eml` file and prunes the duplicates. You can encrypt the store, but if you choose not to, EagleFiler just stores the files in `Files` in a structure like this: ~ …/Mail Archive ❯ pwd /path/to/my/EagleFiler/Mail Archive …/Mail Archive ❯ ls -la total 0 drwxr-xr-x 8 rcogley staff 256 Jan 2 10:51 . drwxr-xr-x 4 rcogley staff 128 Jan 2 10:51 .. drwxr-xr-x 52365 rcogley staff 1675680 Jan 2 10:51 Files drwxr-xr-x@ 6 rcogley staff 192 Jan 2 10:50 Mail Archive.eflibrary drwxr-xr-x 2 rcogley staff 64 Dec 31 12:22 Notes drwxr-xr-x 21 rcogley staff 672 Dec 31 19:26 Smart Folders drwxr-xr-x 3 rcogley staff 96 Jan 2 10:43 Temporary Items.nobackup drwxr-xr-x 2 rcogley staff 64 Dec 31 12:22 To Import (Mail Archive) ~ EagleFiler itself then becomes a way to search the archive of emails you have. To me it’s good enough.
