This is great advice. Thanks Shoshanna!
I also found the official description in the Manual on the Hidden
Preferences page here:
Custom message verifications
https://manual.mailmate-app.com/hidden_preferences#custom-message-verifications
Does anyone know if this plist file supports compound conditions? I
tried entering a few examples using the same format from the
Mailboxes.plist file. The simple conditions work fine, but the compound
ones are ignored. If not, is there another way to do an ALL or ANY
condition? For example, the verification matches if you are sending to a
random Gmail address, but not your own.
Thanks,
Alan
