Archiving to wrong folder
Reported by Catherine | September 13th, 2018 @ 11:34 PM
I have multiple accounts set up in Mailmate:
- 1 Fastmail - 2 Gmail - 1 Google Apps
I installed Sanebox on all but 1 Gmail account. Sanebox creates a folder titled @SaneArchive that it puts emails in once the main Sanebox folders hit a limit.
I'm now finding that on the Fastmail and gmail accounts, when I archive emails in the inbox in Mailmate, it sends them to the @SaneArchive folder. Sometimes it doesn't remove the inbox label in the gmail account, sometimes it does.
The Google Apps one mostly works fine. Mailmate has created a folder [Gmail]/Archive and when I archive an item it sends it there (removing the inbox label).
The Fastmail account has an Archive folder but Mailmate is sending archived emails to the SaneArchive folder. When I use the Fastmail web interface, archived emails go to the Archive folder as intended.
The Gmail account is even weirder. It's created [Google Mail] folders [Bin, Drafts, Sent Mail, Spam] but no Archive. Mailmate was also sending archived emails to the SaneArchive folder (and sometimes not removing the inbox label). I tried reinstalling it and now it's chosen another mailbox that has Archive in the title (@2018KEEPARCHIVE).
Is there some way of manually mapping the core mailbox types to folders? I.e. so I can force what is seen as the Archive folder.
Or do I have to rename folders so there is no other folder with archive in the title?

You can use “Mailbox ▸ Mailbox Type” to set the “Archive” type on a specific IMAP mailbox. Let me know if this doesn't work.
In theory, MailMate should have preferred a mailbox just named Archive if it exists. Maybe this doesn't work quite as it was intended. I'll note to check that.

In the next update I've changed MailMate such that it wouldn't think, e.g.,
@SaneArchiveis the mailbox to use for archived emails. That would likely mean that you wouldn't have to explicitly create the Archive mailbox to make it work. -

Thanks! The manual mapping seems to be working fine.
Mailmate is really awesome!
