Equivalent of a gmail "all mail" link/function?
Hello -- is there a way to get an "all mail" view (everything sent to any alias in every folder except for spam) similar to how gmail works? This would be very useful...

Yes! If you switch to Labels mode in Settings>Preferences>Mail>Labels, the Archive folder (used in Folders mode) will become All mail and will show all messages not in Spam or Trash. I really like labels mode, but you can switch back and forth between folders and labels mode at any time.

I suggest putting the alias (I only tried this with a full email address, so..) into the search field, then saving the 'search link' generated. I have a gmail account but I hardly ever use it so I don't know if this is similar to, or easier or harder than, their solution.

Searches now find content inside attachments
As Bruce points out, the search feature can be used to achieve similar goals, and I want to encourage you to use search often. Fastmail has greatly improved the search capability in the past few months. For example, let's say you believe that someone sent you information in the past about a sequencer, but you don't know who sent it or when it was sent.

Thanks, Bill. These are really helpful and I'm glad to see stemming in place. I do use search quite often and I think FMs search is superb. I want to be able to load all messages, too, because at times I have so many rules in place that I'm not sure if something I need to see is getting moved, so a quick way to check is the "all mail" method. Thanks again for the tips and help! |
