That last one took me a while to figure out. I have an AirMail action 
that copies the message to OmniFocus and then archives it. (The 
ability to create custom actions is one of the reasons I like 
AirMail). I would do that, and then go to my Mac. OmniFocus would have 
a link to the message (airmail:, but I have a script to change it to a 
message: link), and I'd launch it…and nothing. The message had 
disappeared from MailMate.


I assume there's no good way to make messages just available in All 
Messages visible in MailMate?


Never assume MM can't do something... If you edit the subscriptions for 
a GMail account you have the option of subscribing to mailboxes under 
the '[GMail]' subtree, including "All Mail' and the other GMail 
defaults. It appears from a quick peek at my GMail account that Benny 
has worked out a de-duplication scheme to make sure 'All Mail' only 
shows messages not otherwise tagged. Nice.


So while I work on the AirMail folks to add an option to make Archive 
move things to an Archive folder (which is what they do with Exchange, 
and presumably with normal IMAP),


"Normal IMAP" isn't a thing. :) There's just a cluster of largely 
similar implementations including Dovecot & Cyrus and a diffuse flock of 
weird other things like GMail and Exchange that are only vaguely related 
to IMAP.

messages back into MailMate.


Does anyone know a way to find email messages on gmail that are *just* 
in All Messages so I can refile all the ones that got lost?___
