Feature request: X-GM-THRID and/or MSGID IMAP properties
Reported by Tom Scogland | July 12th, 2014 @ 04:03 PM
Hello,
I know this is a Gmail specific feature, and thus may not be sufficiently worthwhile, but if possible it would be great to have the X-GM-THRID and or MSGID available for messages. There are two specific use-cases, really two sides of one, that would make this helpful.
1) Storing the permanent link to a message in the Gmail web
interface, iOS application, or other Google property, converting
the hex-coded thread id from there into the base 10 version from
the IMAP X-GM-THRID field and searching for it in MailMate to
locate the same thread.
2) Storing the X-GM-THRID from MailMate into tasks, calendar
entries, and other linked properties in the "Commands" list so that
the links can be used on iOS, Android, windows or other properties
where MailMate is unavailable.
At present I do this by getting the online IDs to embed appropriate links to the web, mobile web, and iOS gmail applications in my OmniFocus tasks, but having it as an integrated option would be incredibly useful.

I've already considered doing this, but I think you are the first to actually request it. I'm not a big fan of Gmail-specific customizations, but this one would be relatively benign. Not sure how hard it would be to do though since I haven't looked into the specifics.
I am, by the way, pretty sure I succeeded in the past creating a link to Gmail based on the
Message-IDof a message, but I cannot seem to find that right now (it was a bit non-trivial as far as I recall).
