It's my own variant of [sundown](https://github.com/freron/upskirt). I 
do not recommend replacing it although it is possible. In any case, I've 
changed how it works internally and such a customization would break in 
a future update of MailMate.


(It might be possible to convince me to make it more easily replaced, 
but it's not a straightforward change.)

There are several good Markdown tutorials out there, like 
[this](https://rawgit.com/fletcher/human-markdown-reference/master/index.html), 
[this](http://www.markdowntutorial.com) and 
[this](https://guides.github.com/features/mastering-markdown/). And 
[here](https://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/dingus) you can

Frederick (or others):
Thanks for the replies. I’m back working at this.
1. The “rules” work when a message enters a mailbox. What might you 
want to do at that point. I mean what’s a possible use(s)of a rule?

2. What is the utility of the subfolders tab in smart mail?
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

To become acquainted with MailMate, take a look at this site: 
http://www.macdrifter.com/2013/11/mailmate-explorations.html. Together 
with the MailMate in the Help bar of MailMate, you will slowly learn the 
wonders of MailMate. Good luck.

Fredrik, since you have an existing folder structure, I'm sure you don't 
want to get rid of it. Preserving your current structure will let you 
continue to find your messages easily when you're not using MailMate to 
access your mail (for example, when you're using webmail).


I'm in the same boat, and I have a number of smart folders set up. One 
very useful one should be in your Examples folder in MailMate: **Mailing 
Lists.**  It continually searches all your messages for any that use the 
obscure *List-Id* email header, which indicates that the message was 
sent to a mailing list. It also displays subfolders for each individual 
value of *List-Id* found. This gives you an instant view of the mailing 
lists to which you're subscribed (only excepting lists from which you've 
already deleted every message). Some of the subfolders may be named with 
a weird code instead of a readable list name, but you can easily rename 
the subfolder.


I also have smart folders set up to match messages that were sent to 
email addresses that I no longer actively use. When a new message is 
sent to one of those addresses, a new-message counter appears next to 
the corresponding smart folder. That way I know to notify the sender 
that they're using an old email address. (Of course, this only works if 
the old address is still functional.)


MailMate is amazingly powerful and customizable to your workflow, but I 
can testify that it can take a while to understand how it "thinks." Dive 
in, keep the online docs handy, and stay subscribed to this list. You'll 
figure it out!___

Very helpful. Thanks very much.

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.

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

[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
