I agree with Steve, it would make much more sense to click on the account to search the entire account.

Chris: I have my Queue folder set to a Local account. Won’t this address your point about the server not being available?

Strange, I just re-downloaded it and indeed the version now looks a little bit different from the one I’ve checked a couple of days ago and does have the ability to define a sent mail folder (and, yes, of course I had seen the appropriate preferences panel â€¦!)â€”but I’d maintain that the concept of a (online) queue folder is somewhat flawed here. If your unable to send a mail, it’ll be very likely because of the whole server being unreachable and so an online IMAP queue folder wouldn’t be of much use. Apple Mail has this one right with a local queue folder created temporarily.

Thanks for the pointer to searching multiple folders. It would feel much more intuitive to me if one could click on the account and then search all folders in the account.

Wow, I had no idea you could do that! This makes it even nicer.

Josh, you can attach keystrokes to rules. So for moving messages to folders, I set up a rule that acts on “all message”, set it to a Manual Menu type, and then attach a keystroke to it. The way to do this is described in the Help for Rules.

Sorry, my comment about searching was directed to Steve’s comment, not Matt’s.

Matt, if you select multiple folders (command-select, which means they can be discontiguous), the search includes all of them.

I just tried out Gyazmail, it’s fast but the interface is ugly and it uses quite a bit of memory, upwards of 100mb on my system.

I’m also trying out Gyazmail and rather liking its speed and flexibility. It’s a refreshing change from the strange sluggishness of Mail. I miss MailTags/Act-on, though it seems that with a minimal about of work some of their behavior could be replicated. Gyaz includes labels and customizable keystrokes, yet no way to apply labels or to move messages to new folders with keystrokes.

The one thing that continues to frustrate me in GyazMail is the inability to search across all the folders. I may have missed an option but as far as I can see a search is limited to a folder.
