I’m pretty sure that you need to be using the public beta to get the option.

You will find the option in Preferences -> MailTags -> IMAP. Just check the “Store Project and Keywords in separate X-Headers” box.

Erm, that is if I knew how to turn “transparent” on. Google has not been my friend in this regard.

Rules via IMAP have never worked reliably for me. The only way they do work is if I manually apply them by selecting all mail in my Inbox and then “Apply Rules”. So…applying a MailTags rule only seems to be an option with a POP account.

Also, since I use multiple Macs to access my e-mail (hence the use of IMAP) not having MailTags portability makes it of limited use. Yes, I know that MailTags 2.0 supports this and as soon as it’s out of beta I’ll move there. I’ll check out the “transparent” feature Kerim notes. That’ll at least give me visibility to my tags when I log in remotely.

So…from a “it’s shipping and not in beta” viewpoint I give her Allison full marks.

Put that way, I suppose that’s true. It would be read-only though. Still, good point.

Actually she was wrong about the third point as well. There is an option in MailTags to make keywords transparent. They can then easily be read on other machines.

Thanks, Jeff. That’s twice in two days that I have done that :(

Absolutely!

I was freelancing again today and spent another day trapped in Vista. Obviously, I can’t get it out of my head.

Oh — I thought you meant vista Mail — but thunderbird — that may be a possibility more than outlook — at least there is source code there to mingle in. But 2.0 release and Leopard versions first…
