I purchased DT Pro years ago but never really got into it. I was listening to David Sparks on his Mac Power Users podcast the other day and decided to give it a second try. I did purchase his Field Guide on DT assuming it would motivate me to use it… I am at his discussion on importing emails into DT from Apple Mail. He talks about the ability to modify the importing of emails using the Email Preference option. When I went into DT Pro and went to Preferences, the Email option was not there. He shows it in his video and how to change some behaviors… I searched the forum and did a Googol search on as well as the help files and cannot find the answer. Any idea why this is?

Version 3.8 revised the preferences and you can find the options under _Preferences \> Files \> Email_.
