Hi guys. Sorry if this is answered elsewhere - I haven’t been able to find a solution on the forums. My question is this:
Is there a way to import mailboxes and submailboxes from Mail.app to a specific Group in DTPro Office?
I’m using DT Pro Office 2.7.3 and Mail.app 7.1. Also, please note that I have “Select Group” checked as my destination in my import preferences.
As far as I’m aware, I have three options:
- Use the command “Add to DEVONthink Pro Office” in the Mailbox menu of Mail.app, but only one mailbox at a time, since this command can’t handle submailboxes.
NB: I’ve tried selecting multiple mailboxes and then using this command, with varying results. Usually, what happens is that the top-level mailbox imports, plus the messages contained in that mailbox, minus any submailboxes. But here’s a selection of the other mishaps I’ve experienced with this command:
(a) Tried to import a mailbox and one submailbox, found that the top-level mailbox only had imported, without any messages in it.
(b) Managed to import a mailbox and two submailboxes, but without any hierarchy, and with no messages in any of the mailboxes. NB: This always happens if you try to import the same set of mailboxes twice: on the second attempt, all mailboxes appear in DTPro Office but with nothing in them.
© Tried to import a mailbox and nine submailboxes, ended up with the top-level mailbox only, with the messages it contained, while Mail.app simultaneously erased the other nine mailboxes, both locally and on the related Exchange server…
-
Use the command File > Import > Email… within DTPro Office, having highlighted where I want to put the things I’m importing, but again limiting myself to one mailbox at a time, since this method can’t handle mailbox hierarchies either.
-
Use the script “Add mailbox(es) to DEVONthink”, which will bring in mailboxes and submailboxes, but will leave me unable to select where those end up in the database.
Am I missing anything here? Your help much appreciated.
