<p dir="auto">I think you should be able to achieve something along these lines using a smart mailbox.</p>
<p dir="auto">For example, you could create a new smart mailbox -- let's call it 'Unanswered' -- and set it up as follows:</p>
<pre style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:5px 5px 5px 5px; margin-left:15px; margin-right:15px; max-width:90vw; overflow-x:auto; padding:5px" bgcolor="#F7F7F7"><code style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:3px; margin:0; padding:0" bgcolor="#F7F7F7">Mailboxes:
Any of
[Sent Messages]
Conditions:
All of
[Date] [is not within last] [10] [days]
[Message-Id] [is not in] [All Messages] [In-Reply-To]
[Message-Id] [is not in] [All Messages] [References]
</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">This would then show you all messages you had sent more than 10 days ago for which you don't have any reply/follow-up (caveats like 'misbehaving' mail clients that don't put in the 'In-Reply-To' or 'References' headers notwithstanding).</p>
<p dir="auto">(Note that you have to choose the 'Other...' option to select the 'Message-Id', 'In-Reply-To' and 'References' headers for the criteria here.)</p>
<p dir="auto">Now, that's based on <em>all</em> sent messages that haven't received a reply. If you wanted to see this only for certain messages, then you could use a tag: put that tag onto the sent messages you want to be reminded about, and add another Condition to the smart mailbox for:</p>
<pre style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:5px 5px 5px 5px; margin-left:15px; margin-right:15px; max-width:90vw; overflow-x:auto; padding:5px" bgcolor="#F7F7F7"><code style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:3px; margin:0; padding:0" bgcolor="#F7F7F7">[Tags] [contains] [Need Reminder]
</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">(or whatever you call the tag).</p>
<p dir="auto">Once you've set up this 'Unanswered' smart mailbox, you have a few options about how you can be told when messages are matched by it. For a start, you can have it show a counter in the mailbox list using the Displayed Count options in the Mailbox menu. You can also set up other hints, like a dock icon counter, or menu bar counter, or system notifications, by choosing this mailbox for one of the options in the Counters pane of MailMate's preferences.</p>
<p dir="auto">There are probably several other ways you could achieve this, but basing it on a smart mailbox seems like a good way to make the most of MailMate's flexibility.</p>
<p dir="auto">Hope this helps!</p>
