<p dir="auto">Hello, Benny,</p>
<p dir="auto">I’m a relatively recent (few months) convert to MailMate, and I am still learning how to use it most effectively. One of the things I have not yet fully understood (or gotten comfortable with) is the relationship among Gmail labels, IMAP mailboxes, and MM tags. Based on the number of questions about this in the MM mail archive, I gather that it’s a pervasive problem.</p>
<p dir="auto">I read your <a href="https://blog.freron.com/2013/mavericks-gmail-apple-mail-and-mailmate/" style="color:#3983C4">Mavericks, Gmail, Apple Mail, and MailMate</a> blog post (and the related <a href="http://www.mail-archive.com/mailmate@lists.freron.com/msg01115.html" style="color:#3983C4">mailing list message</a>) in which you wrote, “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.” I note that you wrote that blog post in 2013, and so I’m wondering if/how you have changed MM since. In particular, is the solution/approach you describe (“MailMate can be told to handle specific Gmail labels as if they were tags”) still experimental? Or have you since incorporated it as a standard MM feature or deprecated it entirely? After 3.5 years, it seems likely that you would have done one or the other. Since <a href="https://manual.mailmate-app.com/account_setup" style="color:#3983C4">https://manual.mailmate-app.com/account_setup</a> makes no mention of this, I’m not sure what to conclude.</p>
<p dir="auto">I can imagine that you might be heartily sick of answering such questions, but I would sincerely appreciate any guidance you can provide. Thank you for creating and continuing to support MailMate.</p>
<p dir="auto">Cheers,</p>
