[MlMt] Threads and Sent Messages

[devynosborne at gmail.com]

Hello!

MaiMate newbie here again, this time with a question about the 
[hidden](https://manual.mailmate-app.com/hidden_preferences) 
[preference](https://freron.lighthouseapp.com/projects/58672/tickets/213) 
to store a sent message with the message to which it is a reply. I’m a 
little uncertain if this will do what I want, without adverse affects 
that I haven’t considered.

Basically, I always want to see the total thread, no matter how I get to 
the individual message.

As it is now, in my initial poking around MM, the messages in threads 
are mostly shown separately (eg, in Inbox and Sent Messages). The only 
place I see a complete thread is in All Messages. In my day-to-day, if I 
look in my Inbox or even Sent, I want to see the thread, so 1) I know 
that I did reply, 2) I can refer to what I and others wrote, and 3) 
easily reply again if I need to pester somebody about my last unanswered 
reply.  :-)

Is this the right setting?

What is the argument to *not* use this? I guess I’m so used to 
organizing by thread (which I have turned on in MM), it’s hard for me 
to imagine emails otherwise.


I’m also unclear about the address completion setting. Does that just 
mean that MM may not have access to all previously used addresses in 
order to suggest them again? I don’t think that’s so critical, as I 
mostly email people in my Contacts.

Last, I’m also unclear on this setting:

I guess I use what’s called the “Sent Messages” standard mailbox. 
That seems to me to be a dedicated mailbox, unless that means a Sent 
mailbox that I have created? I don’t think I understand ‘“Sent 
Messages” standard mailbox’ vs ‘dedicated mailbox’.

If it helps / matters, I don’t really use tags or folders. I mostly 
use Gmail, and do use its Important tag (which I figured out how to map 
properly in MM), but otherwise don’t tag or reorganize emails.

I appreciate any guidance and hand holding here!
