<p dir="auto">Benny et al.,</p>
<p dir="auto">I have two Gmail accounts (call them A and B). B is set to forward all mail to A. Most of the time, I reply to all incoming messages using account A. However, I occasionally want to be able to reply to a message sent to B using the B account (<em>from</em> address), so I need to have MailMate connected to B, as well as A. But I don’t want to see B messages in my MM inbox or other incoming mail folders, since doing so means that I’m seeing duplicate messages (the original copy in account B and the forwarded copy in the account A inbox).</p>
<p dir="auto">My question is, what’s the best way to achieve this? I see two options (though there may be more).</p>
<ol>
<li value="1">In MM, edit subscriptions for B to remove (uncheck) <strong>All Mail</strong> and <strong>INBOX</strong> (optionally leaving <strong>Drafts</strong>, <strong>Sent Mail</strong>, <strong>Spam</strong>, and <strong>Trash</strong> checked)</li>
<li value="2"> In MM Account Settings for B, remove the IMAP Server information/credentials and leave the SMTP Server credentials. (I haven’t tried this so am not sure it would even work.)</li>
</ol>
<p dir="auto">My hunch is that option 1 is the way to go. I’ll add that I tried implementing option 1 several times, and MailMate crashed every time when I clicked the <strong>Apply</strong> button in the IMAP Account Settings dialog. I eventually discovered that I could unsubscribe from <strong>INBOX</strong> without causing a crash but not <strong>All Mail</strong>. I finally got it to work (I think) by opening the <strong>Edit Subscriptions…</strong> dialog and unchecking <strong>All Mail</strong>, clicking <strong>OK</strong>, and then taking MailMate offline (i.e., disconnecting my ethernet cable) before clicking the <strong>Apply</strong> button in the IMAP Account Settings dialog. I think I then quit MM before reconnecting the ethernet cable, restarting MM, and syncing my accounts. This time, MM didn’t crash, and both <strong>INBOX</strong> and <strong>All Mail</strong> are still unsubscribed.</p>
<p dir="auto">Thank you,</p>
