The “Has Answer” folder searches the “Inbox” folder for any message who’s thread id exists in the “Waiting on Reply” folder. Two smart folders are created, one named “Waiting on Reply” and the other “Has Answer.” When sending a new message that requires a reply, I add the tag “WaitingOnReply.” The smart folder “Waiting on Reply” searches the “Sent” folder for any such message. iOS 8 just implemented such a feature, so I decided to implement such a feature in MailMate. Other times, I very much need to track if I have received a response from a particular email or not. I don’t really care if it is responded to or not. ![]() Many times I send an email, maybe as a response itself, that requires no further tracking. MailMate is my chosen application for email for many reasons, but that is beyond the scope of this post.
