[MlMt] mailmate Digest, Vol 66, Issue 22

[Esteban Umerez Argaia]

That’s right, MailMate fetches emails when focusing on the folder. And 
there does not seem to be an easy solution, since I do want to 
automatically sync my mail when I’m on my regular schedule. What I 
want to do is, every once in a while, “ok, I need to concentrate on 
this project for the next 3 hours, so I don’t want to know that I have 
any unattended emails, but I still want to be able to launch MailMate 
and draft or send messages if something comes up to my mind”.

So far, turning off every notification on MailMate, hiding the Mailboxes 
sidebar and focusing on an empty folder seems to do the trick. I still 
tend to go to my Inbox and freak out with any new message, but I guess 
that’s a behavior I have to learn to change.

Thanks for your thoughts.

Esteban
