Note the available set of columns (right-click the column headers line) and how you can choose to make the currently displayed columns the default set of columns. Try double-clicking names, subjects and other fields in the outline in order to quickly search for related messages. Play with the possible selection of header values and the comparison methods and notice that “rules” can be added to any kind of mailbox. Double-click any of the smart mailboxes in order to see how they are configured in the mailbox editor. Note that the standard mailboxes (like Inbox) are universal which means that they include messages from standard mailboxes in all IMAP accounts configured. Go through the list of mailboxes in the mailbox outline. Alternatively, there’s a page of screenshots available. Also note the tips displayed at the bottom of some of the windows in MailMate. For more information, follow the link in the title of each item. The following is a list of things you should try in MailMate. There is an Activity Viewer (⌥⌘0) to help debug server problems. Alternatively, it can be opened manually in the File menu where you can also find the menu item for manually adding an account (“File ▸ Add IMAP Account…”). If you have any IMAP accounts configured in Apple Mail or Thunderbird then an importer window should open when you first started MailMate. To get started with MailMate, you need to configure one or more IMAP accounts. If you already use a text editor for other purposes then you can also use it to write your emails (see the Bundles preferences pane within MailMate). In fact, it’s not unlikely, and perhaps a bit ironic, that MailMate is the most HTML capable email client in existence.įinally, note that MailMate does not restrict you to using the built-in text editor. Furthermore, signatures can be configured to have any kind of HTML based variant and you can even bind a specific theme to a signature. It’s also possible to enable code syntax highlighting and the automatic generation of math expressions. Most notably, you can tell MailMate to use a specific theme for styling your outgoing emails. The default behavior of MailMate should work well for most users, but there are plenty of options in the Composer preferences pane. This is useful when the original HTML is not really needed. Note that if you do try to edit this then MailMate offers you to drop the corresponding HTML. The editor shows you a plain text variant of the HTML within its text editor. This is done by embedding the original HTML of the received email without allowing you to edit it. MailMate automatically shows you a preview of the email and this is what most recipients of your emails are going to see.Įven though MailMate uses plain text in its editor, it can still handle HTML generated by any other email client when replying and forwarding. This is then automatically converted by MailMate to HTML which is the (unofficial) standard for rich text emails. Instead, you can (optionally) use the simple Markdown syntax. This means that you cannot visually emphasize words, create outlines, create links, and insert images within the text editor itself, for example, by clicking buttons. Plain text is whatever text you can write with your keyboard. If you are skeptical or simply don’t understand what it means then I ask you to at least read the following to get an idea of what MailMate can do despite what might seem to be a limitation at first. It might even be its most defining feature. It is important to understand that this is a feature of MailMate. MailMate only allows emails to be written using a plain text editor.
