    I have a couple of similar reports which also involve the problem of MailMate getting stuck when the server refuses to delete a mailbox. It is possible to fix t...

308 Replying creates new email at top of inbox was updated
  • benny
    • State changed from new to resolved

    If you mean a “send and archive replied message” feature then no. It's a two-step process. This seems to be a popular request though, so it might not be that lo...

307 SmartMailBox - filter issue was updated
  • benny
    • State changed from new to accepted

    That is kind of correct. MailMate looks at all of the addresses, but if just one of them 'does not contain' then it's a match. The underlying query system suppo...

300 Frequent crashes, "Offsets file is corrupt" was updated
  • benny
    benny commented at 9:52 AM

    I'm sorry, but I haven't yet had time to look into the file.

    Do you mean that you did not need to rebuild the last time you got the error?

306 Hint for folded Source list was updated
  • benny
    benny commented at 8:34 AM

    This is a side-effect of a visual change by Apple (OS X Lion). It's the same in Apple Mail. I'm not sure how I can fix it.

    What do you mean by “playing with the...

303 Error APPENDING Sent message to designated Sent Mail folder was updated
  • benny

    This problem was triggered by MailMate generating header lines longer than 998 characters. This has been fixed such that headers are most often not longer than ...

    MailMate supports the tables supported by the sundown utility which is used for the conversion. For example, this should work:

    Looking at the code I can see that this is already handled for APPEND, but the code also included an obvious bug. I've fixed it, but I haven't tested it. Let me...

    No, but MailMate shouldn't try to do it when its not part of PERMANENTFLAGS. This is a bug. I'm surprised it has not been an issue earlier on, but I guess it's ...
