[MlMt] Replicate Snooze or Reminder Functions

I am evaluating a move to MailMate from Superhuman so am new to MailMate 
for the past seven days. I really love MailMate but would miss the 
reminder functions (or remind if the recipient does not respond).

I am trying to replicate these use cases:

1. I send an email at mark it to be returned to my inbox if I do not 
receive a response from the recipient in x days
2. I receive an email which I would like to defer actions for x days to 
mark it to be archived and returned to my inbox in x days

In my attempt to accomplish this (maybe I am missing a much better way) 
—


I have set up tags for days I want to “sleep” the messages (e.g., 
‘1-days’, ‘3-days’, ‘7-days’, ‘30-days’) and created a 
smart inbox where all of the messages are shown (with nested *Smart 
Mailbox*’s to process each of the tags. I have also created a tag 
‘Returned’.

I am close with the following questions/issues:

1. Is it possible to use the “Last Viewed” date rather than the 
“Date Received” in a filter or rule? So I can set the deferral 
period from the date I am viewing the message and can easily reset the 
deferral time?

2. Would a rule allow me to remove the sleep tag when another email in 
that thread is received? So the reminder turns off if an email is 
received in the thread.

Thanks so much!

Best,
Miles
