Re: [MlMt] Keyboard shortcut "Single Key Read"?
If you are talking about mailing lists, I find it better to have separate mail account for each major list and another account for smaller lists. That way, I do not only have server-side structure as you call it but can decide which lists I want to have (or not) on any specific device. It is also a tad easier to set up smart mailboxes in MM since I can simply reference the source account.

Re: [MlMt] Keyboard shortcut "Single Key Read"?
you can go in on any mailbox and add a condition that you don't want to see mails if they are found in another folder (physical or smart virtual ones).

I think opera mail has a global toggle on each folder to automatically have it be filtered out of any other smart mailbox - that kind of feature I haven't found a way to express in mailmate smart boxes yet. ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com https://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com https://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate

The way I did it was to set up a rule to tag or mailing lists as "Mailing List" and then set the relevant inboxes not to include anything tagged like that. The Opera Mail way is more intuitive but, as Max says, this is more flexible. I suspect there are other ways of doing this that just need documenting.

what do you mean here ? you mean UI elements or ? I commented this a couple of months ago when I started with MailMate.

Thanks for those insights in your workflow. My workflow is very basic compared to that. I do not delete typically, I do not set rules and I do not archive. My main concept is "laizyness". My only decision I make is: Does that mail needs an answer? Then I press the keyboard shortcut for reply. Now there two options: I reply immediately or I save the reply which creates a draft. That's it. When I need to look at the history of conversation I use the indexed search function.

Re: [MlMt] Keyboard shortcut "Single Key Read"?
markdown for email: nuff'said ? Until now, me as a reader of incomming messages, prefer text only view. Because so few people are using HTML in a useful way. which is why mail mate's use of markdown is great. If you are mainly a text email guy you just read the markdown - there is no special formatting, lists looks like lists written in text etc. When it comes to composing a message I prefer a markdowneditor, which standard mode is "show the generated html view" while editing. My eyes just don't like to see the syntax of markdown. Yes ? I have show html view too so I can see both text and html But I'm talking of the compose process. When I use markdown, I like my editor to behave like e.g. the App Notes on macOS: I write "* foo"ENTER And the app "thinks" I like to write a list point and renders it like a html element "ul". That's my favorite behaviour. It get the best of both worlds: I don't need graphical buttons to declare something as a list point. I just write "* foo". But I get the nice rendering of HTML. When I understand it correctly, that is not possible in MM. Please correct me, if neccessary. no, and I personally like it that way as I like editing in text mode over a visual one. Good thing is that if you know of an editor that can do what you are looking for then mailmate most likely can use it to edit/create the mail for you :) Summarized: I would love to have a text editor for mail composing, which offers formatting for plain text tasks. Example: Format a numbered list. Before formatting: * Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Fusce vehicula orci vitae * Felis congue porta. Maecenas finibus fermentum erat. Aenean pulvinar consequat arcu After formatting: 1. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Fusce vehicula orci vitae 2. Felis congue porta. Maecenas finibus fermentum erat. Aenean pulvinar consequat arcu But I have never heard that such a mail compose plain text editor exist. That sounds like something you can do with osx text services. Ever tried out https://brettterpstra.com/projects/markdown-service-tools/#listsfixnumberedlist ? His markdown services might help you out. But I do not talk about markdown. I like to send a plain text message and than a receiver who uses a plain text mail client (which cannot view html or markdown) should see the text in the way I posted it above.

I use MM on my MacBook Air, but since my MacBook Pro died my main laptop is a Dell running Ubuntu, and I use Thunderbird on that. (Oh for MM on Ubuntu, but I'm not expecting that to ever happen). I use both on and off throughout the day. MM is of course much tidier than anything on Ubuntu. The two things that I notice that Thunderbird has that MM doesn't are the 'n' key for next unread message in any account and the shift-Delete (not shift-Backspace) for 'obliterate' rather than just delete. This is much quicker for removing spam than chasing it through 'Deleted Items' (or whatever you use) to get rid of it. One of my IMAP accounts is also used by others (a club 'info' account), so I want to be able to remove all traces of spam rather than have others having to identify a spam message as such once I have already done so. These other people delete to various folders. My Android phone and iPad delete to a couple of other places too. If you select to view the top level of an account, Thunderbird just shows an info pane; MM shows you all the messages in that account which allows you to 'round up' all the spam in one place then remove them. I've now developed two different ways of working with my emails depending on which laptop I'm using. I'm also running MM on an unattended Mac Mini that does some background filtering.

Re: [MlMt] Keyboard shortcut "Single Key Read"?
I Fully grok your mindset here. I had the same. Thank you. It is important for me to know, that there are other users who like the suggested feature too. I did jump to mailmate in the end though since mailmate is so much better in almost any other aspect than Thunderbird. And to be clear you do not need to use any modifiers to go to next unread. I have 'n' as my next unread. Yes, but with that command you are stucked in the mailbox, where you are at the moment. To get to the next unread in the next mailbox you need another command. Yes, and that’s why I compromised it so that I simply have to push shift+n when I want to move further. You could make it so 'b' moved to next so you only need to move your finger one slot to the left :) I would love for Benny to add a nextunreadornextcountedfolder command but I would encourage you to try mailmate out even before that happens :) : ) That's what I'm doing right now. Would you (or others) who are experienced with Thunderbird like to help me to explore in which aspects MM is superior to TB? Here are my on top of my head features: scalability: with mail mate I'm now at 1.000.000+ messages something I never got near with thunderbird - I stopped using thunderbird the 3rd time I had it corrupts its own database and then spent days downloading all messages again. bundles: I use a bunch of the bundles built in but also written a few internal processes, like take expense emails through a filter which then generates content in my clipboard I can then put into a spreadsheet ;) markdown for email: nuff'said ? integration with spotlight on osx: not sure if thunderbird does this by now but i use it often now with mailmate (its in many cases faster than mail mate to do focused search) smart mailboxes: I do not know of any other mail app which can handled smart mailboxes as well as mail mate. Independent of that: Are anyone of you uses the filter type/language SIEVE and declares the rules inside MM? MM doesn't support editing SIEVE rules. It does have integration support with spamsieve. That said I uses neither as I don't want my desktop client to do the bulk filtering as it is not always running thus my mails gets cluttered when just on phone. I use imapfilter and have a fairly complex implementation which I some day will try and make possible to share..some day ;) That said mailmates filtering rules are very good and if I just used my desktop for mails or it was always on I would be fine with mail mates filters. /max Best Andreas On Tue, 12 Nov 2019 at 09:26, Andreas Borutta wrote: Travis Risner via mailmate: I have found that if I choose the general/universal inbox, I can then option-command down arrow to move to the next unread message.

You can create a smart mailbox or use the existing one to have *All Unread messages* and you can use a single key to read through that :) /max https://xam.dk/about On 11 Nov 2019, at 18:17, Andreas Borutta wrote: Max Rydahl Andersen: I haven't found one, so my approximation is the following: "N" = ("selectNextCountedMailbox:", "makeFirstResponder:", "mainOutline","selectFirstMessageRow:"); "P" = ("selectPreviousCountedMailbox:", "makeFirstResponder:", "mainOutline","selectFirstMessageRow:"); Then with `mybindings, postbox` in keyboard setup I then have 'n' being next unread and then shift+N goes to next folder with a counter (which by default is unread but could be something else). p and P does the same just 'previous' instead of next.

Re: [MlMt] Keyboard shortcut "Single Key Read"?
Hi Andreas, I have found that if I choose the general/universal inbox, I can then option-command down arrow to move to the next unread message. Yes, pressing it again will go to the next unread message rather than paging down, but I consider this an advantage. It lets me skip from a short or boring message directly to the next.

In the General pane of the Preferences window, there's a "Custom Key Bindings" section with a help button that opens the relevant section in the MM Help. That gives all the detailsd, but as an example, I have the word "Mine" in that text field and a file at ~/Library/Application\ Support/MailMate/Resources/KeyBindings/Mine.plist with this content: { " " = "scrollPageDownOrNextUnreadMessage:"; "q" = "nextUnreadThread:"; "l" = "replyList:"; } The relevant entry is the first one. With that alone, you can spacebar through all of the unread messages in one mailbox. -- Bill Cole b...@scconsult.com or billc...@apache.org (AKA @grumpybozo and many *@billmail.scconsult.com addresses) smime.p7s Description: S/MIME digital signature ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com https://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate
