Mail import issue

DEVONthink
1

Trying to set up mail import from Apple Mail to archive mail in DT using the plugin.
DT3 3.9.2
MacOS Ventura 13.4.1 (c)
MacBook Pro M1 14" 2021 32GB

  • DT mail plug-in is installed
  • DT has full disk access
  • Privacy & Security - Extensions - Sharing - Add to DT3 enabled [don’t think this is needed with mail plug in, but it is enabled anyway for other use]

Separate new DT3 database set up for email import.

Help file says: " In addition to speeding up the transfer of email messages from Apple Mail to DEVONthink, the plugin adds an Add to DEVONthink 3 command to the Mailbox and Message menus of Apple Mail."

Add to DT3 is not appearing in menus. Have restarted computer and checked.

Right-click on a mailbox in Mail offers the usual “Export Mailbox…” option to export the mailbox. But going direct to DT3 would be better.

I expect I am missing something obvious. Suggestions please.

Thank you!

Russell.

And enabled in Mail’s preferences?

Thank you ! That’s it!

Mail - Settings - General - then click on “Manage Plug-Ins…” button at the bottom of General tab.

I looked for a “Plug Ins” tab and didn’t find one, then didn’t think to check for a button in another tab.

Sorted!

Best regards,

Russell

A search in the forum would have told you that, too.
