<p dir="auto">I wouldn't (and I don't) archive any messages. The IMAP server <em>is</em> the archive. It's similar to having a cloud-based set of folders with emails. I'm not doing this to have “previous senders”. I'm doing this because this is how IMAP is intended to be used and it works well for me. It is, of course, fine to use it in different ways.</p>

But even Mail.app ;-) shows there's a more elegant way to do this by keeping an internal, editable list of all the sent emails (= a subset of the Contacts ;-)</p>

<p dir="auto">That is correct, but keep in mind that having no sent messages is the minority case. Most IMAP users do not remove their sent messages.</p>

</blockquote></div>
<div style="white-space:normal">
<p dir="auto">In your use case I certainly agree that an explicit list of previous recipients is better. I just don't think it's better in general :) Sent messages are naturally synchronized between all email clients. This means that even if you send an email with Apple Mail then MailMate learns that this is one of your previous recipients (but it doesn't work the other way, because Apple Mail has a separate list of previous recipients). The best way to “blacklist” an email address is to remove the corresponding emails from Sent Messages and this also synchronizes. The new blacklist feature in MailMate cannot do that.</p>
<p dir="auto">Note that I don't reject the idea of <em>also</em> having an explicit list of “previous recipients”. You just shouldn't expect it soon.</p>
