Re: [MlMt] MailMate's Only Seeing a Fraction of My Mail

I was forwarding all the gmail accounts I had accumulated over time to an iCloud address, but somehow this never worked reliably. Every now and then, when I checked the gmail boxes directly, there were mails stuck in there, which didn’t get forwarded. I ended up forwarding all the gmail accounts to one gmail account. This did (and still does) work reliably. I don’t know, but I have the feeling that they are doing that on purpose, maybe to avoid that people ‘misuse’ their mail boxes as dedicated spam inboxes.

You can still use the SMTP server of Gmail (and your Gmail address) although with the side-effect of Google putting a copy of the sent emails in the Gmail sent mailbox (a non-standard “feature” of Gmail). and also have gmail refer all previous mail there via POP... Not sure what you mean by that, but you can certainly move existing emails from the Gmail IMAP account to your alternative IMAP account using MailMate (and then remove the Gmail account from MailMate). (One caveat when using forwarding is that you cannot see when/if Gmail is down.)

Re: [MlMt] MailMate's Only Seeing a Fraction of My Mail
Benny, Thanks for the reply. I can imagine the headache Google’s craziness must cause you as a dev! I have an idea that’s either clever or naive. What if I get myself a non-gmail email account, and have all future gmail forward there, and also have gmail refer all previous mail there via POP...and then use THAT address with MailMate? Gmail seems to be good about forwarding/downloading to other addresses than it is about accommodating email clients, so I’m hoping this strategy might play to Google's strength. Note that MailMate currently only counts days of active use (sending messages) which appears to provide plenty of time for most trial users. I didn’t realize that. Super smart. I should be fine. Thanks. JIM On 12 May 2015, at 3:19, jimleff...@gmail.com wrote: I have 94,349 emails in my gmail account, but MailMate thinks I only have 1132. How can I get MailMate to see all my mail? The short answer is to enable “[Gmail]/All Mail” in the IMAP account settings (via “Edit Subscriptions”, but unfortunately it is more or less required that you understand how Gmail works compared to regular IMAP accounts.

In short, the problem with “[Gmail]/All Mail” is that it also contains emails found in other mailboxes including the Inbox and sent messages (but not junk/trash). MailMate tries to hide this fact by hiding any messages in “[Gmail]/All Mail” which already exist in some other mailbox. I believe this works, but I'm still worried about its performance which is why it's not enabled by default. A Gmail account with 100K messages is relatively big.
