[MlMt] Address Book / Zoom / Outlook

[p***@posteo.net]

Hello, MailMate users. I have a few more questions for you today.

1. How can I get the MailMate contacts panel to search the directories I
see listed there? The Contacts app is able to do so, but MailMate does
nothing when I try to search for a name there.
2. Are zoom or font settings account specific? I tried to adjust these,
but they only seem to stick to one account.
3. Is there a way to get MailMate to read Outlook categories, or for
Outlook to read MailMate tags/keywords? I bounce between the two
clients, and I’m looking for ways to stay organized in a consistent
manner across the two. Any ideas?

Thank you.

I achieved this by the following setting;
In the preferences under the composer tab check the Recipients headers
and choose the appropriate server. Hope it helps.

Sorry, I don't know about items 2 and 3.

This means that MailMate uses all recipient headers of all emails within
that account. That might be more (or less) than desired.

No, they are currently global. This is likely to change though when I've
implemented a new system for saving mailbox related states (which I
often promise on this list when the bugginess of the current system
surfaces). The most obvious use case I see that some users might want a
mono-spaced font only when reading, e.g., mailing lists.

Outlook to read MailMate tags/keywords?

Given the primitive support for IMAP keywords in Exchange servers I
don't think the latter could work.

I don't really know how Outlook categories work.

Sorry, I guess IMAP folders is the only thing that synchronizes between
these clients, but maybe someone else has come up with a smarter
solution.
