<p dir="auto">I read your <a href="https://blog.freron.com/2013/mavericks-gmail-apple-mail-and-mailmate/" style="color:#777">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:#777">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:#777">https://manual.mailmate-app.com/account_setup</a> makes no mention of this, I’m not sure what to conclude.</p>

<p dir="auto">Very understandable. I <em>think</em> it's pretty stable now, but I'm not getting a lot of feedback on it (which is kind of a good sign). By default, MailMate still does not subscribe to the “[Gmail]/All Mail” folder. My current recommendation for the best integration of Gmail labels should probably be:</p>
<ul>
<li>Subscribe to “[Gmail]/All Mail”.</li>
<li>Setup a tag in MailMate for each Gmail label that is used like a tag. That is, don't do it if the label is used just like a mailbox (like manually sorting emails into folders).</li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto">It's probably best to update to the latest test release though since I believe I've fixed a bug which could some times lead to busy-looping when synchronizing the All Mail mailbox: Hold down ⌥ when clicking “Check Now” in the Software Update preferences pane.</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.</p>

<p dir="auto">Thanks for understanding. I know I sometimes tend to complain about the work needed to make things work well with Gmail.</p>
<p dir="auto">And yes, I really should update the documentation on Gmail. I'll try hard to do that soon.</p>
<blockquote style="border-left:2px solid #777; color:#777; margin:0 0 5px; padding-left:5px">
<p dir="auto">Thank you for creating and continuing to support MailMate.</p>

<p dir="auto">Thanks for your patience.</p>
