Feature request - link to Devonthink Pro for mail archiving

+1 :)

I've just starting using both DevonThink and MailMate. Connecting them would be ideal!

Of course, you can just drag and drop an email from MailMate onto your DevonThink database and it stores it. However, a script or plugin would be perfect.

Oddly, I cannot drag and drop an email from MailMate to my DevonThink database, or to my DevonThink sorter. The DevonThink log tells me that the operation failed. But I can use the DT service "Copy Selection" to copy a selected email to my Inbox. It would be easier, though, to be able to drag and drop.

@Joshua: Have you tried with the latest beta of MailMate?

Dragging and dropping works for me now. Thanks very much! MailMate is a great product!

@benny The beta performs drag-and-drop to DT perfectly -- thanks!

The drag and drop works for me; it adds mail (elm file) to DT database. All the attachments are shown as links in the eml file. Would be truly great though if MailMate could add email as a folder not a eml file. To this folder app the attachments would be downloaded as normal files and eml file as well. That way full power of DT (e.g., searching within attached files, OCR of attached pdfs etc.) could be unleashed by integration with MailMate.

+1 on the ability to pull the attachment into DT, this would allow for me to delete the origin email without losing access to the attachments.

+2 on the ability to import attachments.

Benny,

Do you know, given whats available from the various Mail applications, if this is even possible. Having the ability to safely delete the email completely, but keep the headers/content in a plain text file, and the attachments associated with said email along with it will be hugely helpful. Then I can finally accomplish what I am looking for, the ability to completely delete all emails after each year. This would allow me to eliminate the bloat of my exchange and imap mailboxes and save the searching for DEVONthink.

Thanks,
Ron

@benny just wanted to circle back on this, is it possible now for a bundle to access all attachments within an email message? End goal what I am thinking is creating a folder in DEVONthink with the message as a plain text file, and the attachments. Then either setting it to archive or delete the message all together. I am trying to figure out the best way to speed the application back up and the best way I can think of is to get rid of a ton of emails.

Thanks,
Ron

@Ronald: MailMate still cannot provide attachments as files to a bundle command which is probably what you need. I'm assuming you are trying to speed up MailMate. How many emails do you have in MailMate (“All Messages”)?
