# The app icon from Freron's MailMate page.

# MailMate ships a command line: https://manual.mailmate-app.com/emate — the

# tool is `emate`, at /Applications/MailMate.app/Contents/Resources/emate, and

# the manual suggests symlinking it into ~/bin. Its bundle identifier is

# com.freron.MailMate; the binary is what a user types, so it wins.

detect = ["emate"]

platforms = ["macos"]

# Two sources agree on the locations. The manual's hidden-preferences page

# (https://manual.mailmate-app.com/hidden_preferences) both documents the

# defaults domain — "defaults write com.freron.MailMate MmHeadersViewMaximum

# -integer 10", "defaults read com.freron.MailMate …" — and names the

# configuration files beside it: ~/Library/Application Support/MailMate/

# Identities.plist, LDAP.plist, Submission.plist, Security.plist and

# Resources/messageVerifications.plist. The customization page

# (https://manual.mailmate-app.com/customization) adds the two that matter most:

# "A custom version of a file can be made by making a copy in

# ~/Library/Application Support/MailMate/Resources/", and Mailboxes.plist, which

# holds the mailbox setup and "is located in the application support folder".

# The Homebrew cask's `zap trash:` list names the same two roots

# (https://formulae.brew.sh/api/cask/mailmate.json).

# Only the configuration files are listed, never the enclosing directory: the

# same folder holds MailMate's message store and index — the rebuild page

# (https://manual.mailmate-app.com/rebuild) describes "index files" there and an

# OldDatabase/ of backed-up databases — and syncing a live mail database between

# machines is not something this catalog should ask a consumer to do.

# Nothing above encloses the message store or the index, so there is nothing to

exclude = []

# Submission.plist configures the SMTP servers MailMate authenticates to and

# LDAP.plist the directory servers it binds to. MailMate's documentation does

# not say where the passwords for either are kept, and this catalog treats an

# unknown as a credential rather than the other way round, so both are listed

# here instead of under paths. A consumer that carries them does so through its

# own secret store.

# No machine_lines: everything above is a property list, and `match` reads only

# line-oriented files, TOML, YAML and JSON. What the files hold — identities,

# the mailbox tree, the customized resources — is what a user wants on the next

# Mac.

Opens otty://sync/add/mailmate. Otty ships with this catalog, so the link only has to name the tool — nothing is downloaded.

Every one of these keeps all credential files out.
