Linking to mailboxes
Reported by Dmitry | September 12th, 2018 @ 04:34 PM
Good afternoon,
How can I link to a mailbox from an external app?
My use case:
I have a moderately trafficked list that I review once or twice a week (on a prompt from Omnifocus). MailMate redirects all messages from the list to a mailbox. I'd like to save a couple of clicks and embed the link to the mailbox into Omnifocus. How can I achieve this. Can I use the search functionality somehow?

No, searching cannot do it, but the
mlmtURL scheme could perhaps be extended to do this. I'm not sure this is the best way, but I don't mind experiments. In the next update, links like this should work:mlmt:select?mailbox=960764AA-E69A-40D1-9747-293103CCF1CAThe mailbox argument is the mailbox identifier you get on the pasteboard by hitting ⌘C when selecting a mailbox in MailMate. Some of these (IMAP) might require some URL escapes.
A problem could be that such links might not be clickable in OmniFocus.

Very cool, thanks Benny!
I pasted the link above into Omnifocus note and it recognized it as a link.
