So, have I made any silly assumptions or omissions in the above? Not silly, as it is understandable and not entirely unreasonable: that MM's local copy of your mail is anything more than a 100% cache of the server view of the message store. Whenever the server disagrees with MM about what messages exist and what their states are, the server wins unconditionally. The tool you want is imapsync: https://imapsync.lamiral.info There's a MacPorts port that's relatively recent, and I suspect that Homebrew has a recipe for it. If you have command line access and can install your own tools, it runs on anything Unix-like and you may find it faster to run server-to-server rather than via your Mac. Another MacOS tool that I like a lot for client-side message store wrangling is (not free) Emailchemy: https://weirdkid.com/emailchemy/. Alternatively, you COULD use MM to export your entire message store in a form that it can re-import. Then you would switch the settings, let MM wipe out its cache, and import the messages. -- Bill Cole b...@scconsult.com or billc...@apache.org (AKA @grumpybozo and many *@billmail.scconsult.com addresses) Not Currently Available For Hire ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com https://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate
[MlMt] Moving ISP/IMAP host
Greetings, community wisdom needed Context: Two domain names hosted by separate providers I have full control over the DNS routing for these domains (ie., the domain names were not purchased through the ISP providers) One of the providers has twice blocking my IP address, and once disconnected me when they failed to do their upgrade properly. The other has caused no problems over the same period. The problematic ISP has taken days to resolve the issue on each occasion… with loss of email access, etc. I have all the email on local store Plan: Put all my “eggs” in what appears to be the much better basket Proposed process, and your thoughts and wisdom welcome here — 1.

Sometimes, it can be a bit slow in bringing up a new composer window to reply to an email, but now that I write this it is very snappy about the same so maybe that was just special to whatever circumstances are going on at the time.

I don't have reports on this (I think), but I'll try to reproduce it by sending you a couple of messages off list. My own usage of signing/encryption is mostly explicit or related to debugging issues. -- Benny ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com https://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate
[MlMt] Sign by default based on history not working
Hi everyone, in MailMate’s Preferences, there’s Security > Composer: OpenPGP > Sign by default > Based on history. As I understand it, the setting should work in a way that when I sign a message for a contact, MailMate should automatically enable signing the next time I compose a message to that same contact. This does not work for me. I have the option activated, yet I always have to enable signing manually in the Composer window. Is there something I might be doing wrong or can anyone reproduce the issue? I’m on build 5914 (but the error is not new).

This one hits me regularly, and there's a workaround: Use right-click Copy (from pop-up menu), rather than command-c. For $reasons that I'm sure Benny groks better than I do, this works. Not ideal for a smooth workflow, but, it has worked 100% of the time for me when I want to ensure that I'm not receiving spurious newlines.

For example, the HTML included in your email (HTML generated for sending) does not have this issue. This has been an issue before and it's caused by my ongoing changes to how copy/paste works with HTML views. I messed up again with my most recent changes (while fixing other issues). Hopefully, I'll eventually get it right :) -- Benny ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com https://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate
[MlMt] Spurious newlines in copied text
Hi, When I select and copy a block of text that contains line breaks from a mail, and then paste it somewhere else the line breaks double and become empty lines. Is this a bug or am I doing it wrong? For your convenience I entered some line breaks in the three lines above. So when you read this mail, try to copy the three lines above somewhere. For me the result is this: ``` When I select and copy a block of text that contains line breaks from a mail, and then paste it somewhere else the line breaks double and become empty lines. Is this a bug or am I doing it wrong? ``` This does not happen in the editor window or somewhere else, just when I copy from mails that MailMate displays. I’m on version 5914.
