  Could you be a bit more specific? Do you mean in the mailbox list or do you mean which messages are included in the correspondence list?

  I'm sorry. I meant in the Correspondence pane (where it shows all emails from a specific sender), can I select which messages are included in this pane/list (by selecting which mailboxes to include as sources just for this pane/list)?

  By default this is the “All Messages” mailbox and unfortunately this is hardcoded in the layout-file. In theory, you can make your own layout-file in which you use a different mailbox, but I'm not sure it's that important to you :) Let me know.

  It's the same for “Thread Arcs”.

  In both cases, it would be nice if it was easily configurable, but quite often I think it would then also need to depend on the currently selected mailbox.

  Thanks for clarifying.

  Just for some added context. I suffer from the problem in issue #2145, and implemented the workaround there. Things have been okay for a large part, but one annoying issue is that these duplicate messages still appear in the Correspondence pane, and I wish I could get rid of them somehow.

  I have made a smart mailbox that is like All Messages but without one copy of these messages, so if the layout file is easily editable, I can use that instead, perhaps. Just need to know how where to find it and how to edit it.

  If a more permanent solution to #2145 is in the works, then I think that will fix things, and can always wait it out.

  Thanks again, and appreciate your work on the app.

  Ah yes, certainly a very common issue, but I just find it very hard to come up with a good solution.

  The layout file needs to go here:

  ~/Library/Application Support/MailMate/Resources/Layouts/mailboxes/
  

  And you can just copy the one from within the MailMate application bundle (named correspondence.plist).

  Thank you. I have copied the correspondence.plist file, but I'm having trouble editing it to get what I want as I'm not familiar with these plist files. I think, at the very least, this line should be updated:

  transformation = "$mainOutline or $ALL_MESSAGES.filter((from.address = $mainOutline.from.address and #recipient.address = $mainOutline.#recipient.address) or (from.address = $mainOutline.#recipient.address and #recipient.address = $mainOutline.from.address))";
  

  I see $ALL_MESSAGES is some sort of variable. I already have a smart mailbox that I want to use as a source and I named it "All Messages +". How do I replace $ALL_MESSAGES with it? Hopefully, it's a straightforward thing but let me know if it's a bit more involved. I tried a few things with ChatGPT and was not successful :)

  Select the mailbox in MailMate and then hit command-C to copy the value you need to the pasteboard.

  Ah, that is a very nifty little feature! I remember there were IDs but couldn't figure out how to get them.

  This is now working as intended. Thanks a bunch, benny!
