[MlMt] Key Bindings question

[Randall Meadows]

I'm trying to embrace keybindings more and more, and have a few
questions (that I'll probably post over time).

To start off, the key bindings selector list shows:

archive: - Shorthand for ( 'moveToMailbox:', 'archive' )
moveToJunk: - Shorthand for ( 'moveToMailbox:', 'junk' )
deleteMessage: - Shorthand for ( 'moveToMailbox:', 'trash' )

Do I assume correctly that, given an installation that has multiple
accounts configured, that running these selectors on specific messages
will move said messages to the corresponding ACCOUNT'S
archive|junk|trash mailbox (without having to specify specifically a
specific account's specific mailbox [thus requiring multiple command
specifications, one for each account])?

For example, a command executed on a message sitting in Foo's INBOX will
move that message to Foo's Trash mailbox?

Does this still hold if the message selection spans multiple accounts?
E.g., I have two messages selected, one from Foo, one from Bar; does
executing that command move one message to Foo's Trash and the other
message to Bar's Trash?

Finally, does this work for arbitrarily named mailboxes (i.e., not the
"known" archive|junk|trash mailboxes, but also for, say, the SpamSieve
Train[Good|Spam] mailboxes? So can I have a single command that does a
( 'moveToMailbox:', 'TrainGood' ) and regardless of the account, the
message will be moved to the appropriate account's training mailbox?

Finally—really—does this also apply to the
archive:|moveToJunk:|deleteMessage: shorthand keybinding selectors?


Thanks!

It works for me with arbitrary IMAP mailboxes that have the same
name/path in multiple accounts. For example, I have two accounts, each
with a top-level mailbox called ‘In Progress’. I have the following
AppleScript triggered as part of a Keyboard Maestro macro:

tell application "MailMate" to perform {"moveToMailbox:", "/In
Progress"}


and that moves the selected message to the ‘In Progress’ mailbox
for whichever account the message belongs to. Based on that, I don’t
see any reason why it wouldn’t work for all of the other scenarios you
described.

Yes, but the mailbox name must be prefixed with a `/`.
