<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">Hi,<br clear="all"><div><br></div><div>I've been using MM for many months with GMail, but decided it was time to try out the new feature that appeared some months ago. From the release notes at the time:</div>
<div><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);border-left-style:solid;padding-left:1ex"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">Recently, I implemented a workaround in MailMate for the problem of multiple labels. It is currently an experimental solution and you can enable it following the instructions in the release notes for version 1.7. In short, MailMate can be told to handle specific Gmail labels as if they were tags. If a label is handled as a tag then MailMate automatically ignores the corresponding IMAP mailbox. Tags are already supported by MailMate (no integration with Mavericks yet) and uses IMAP keywords on standard IMAP servers.</span></blockquote>
<div><br></div><div>This has left me a little uncertain about what I should change, and what the end result will be. As it might well be the same for others, I thought I'd ask some questions about it here, before I dive in and make some changes.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I have about 30 GMail "folders" based on the topic of the message, and I move email to one and only one of them as quickly as possible, if it needs to be kept. I also have "_todo" and "_waiting" folders that I also often copy messages to alongside the other folder.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I'm guessing that I should be moving the folders "_todo" and "_waiting" to be tags, leaving the others as folders? But what are the practical benefits of this? It's not as if my current method is really broken.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div><br></div>-- Jonathan
