![]() A special token is then returned which MailMate can use to authenticate when connecting to the server. In short, this requires that the user logs into a website and explicitly allows MailMate to access the service. Some servers support an authentication scheme known as OAuth2. You must have very good reasons to disable this setting since an unencrypted connection is an easy target for man-in-the-middle attacks. This setting ensures that the connection to the server is encrypted. This is not supported by most SMTP servers. Use - as username to tell MailMate that you want to skip authentication (anonymous SMTP). Multiple accounts are allowed to share the same SMTP server. Read further below for more information about subscriptions. In most cases you do not need to define the port and unless you have very good reasons to do so then you should not disable the requirement for SSL (encryption of data sent via the connection to the server). ![]() Example values are: Regular explicit list of alternative address with an arbitrary suffixed number such as address with an arbitrary plus-suffixed string such as address with mm- prefixed such as Server / User Name The value used for this option must be a so-called regular expression. This is combined with the “Full Name” specified above. Using this information MailMate can analyze the headers of an incoming message and automatically derive an appropriate address to be used for the default “From” address in a reply. It allows you to tell MailMate the format of email addresses used for the account without listing them explicitly. This is an advanced feature for users with many email aliases. The first address would be paired with the full name specified for the account, but the other address would be paired with the explicitly given alternative name: “Other Name”. If needed, an alternative name can be assigned to each address. This does not require the address to be explicitly declared in the settings, but it does require an “Address Pattern” as described below. When replying to a message, MailMate automatically tries to use the email address for which the original message was sent. These addresses are shown in a popup in the composer window, but the popup also allows you to customize the address. Note that you should only add the addresses which you often use for new messages. The name you would like to use for outgoing messages.Ī comma-separated list of email addresses used for the account. The name used to reference the account in the interface, e.g., in the mailbox outline. This ordering is used whenever MailMate needs to display a list of accounts. ![]() ![]() You can also reorder your accounts under “Sources”. If you need to edit or delete an existing account then use “Mailbox ▸ Edit Source…” or “Mailbox ▸ Remove Source” after selecting the account under “Sources” in the mailbox list. In this case, you may find Apple’s lookup page helpful if you do not know the server settings. If you prefer to enter settings manually then this is still possible. Search results and/or errors can be seen in the context senstive menu of each email address given. If successful, you will then be able to add these accounts to MailMate. Given one or more email addresses, it will offer to automatically search for IMAP and SMTP settings using various methods. This will initially show you a simple “wizard” with a single email address field. Adding a new account is done using the “File ▸ Add IMAP Account…” menu item.
