FWIW, the sluggishness seems to be triggered by talking to the
FastMail servers. I quit MailMate and reopened in order to be able to
compose the email that I just sent. As soon as it started sending,
MailMate became really sluggish. As I write this email, it takes about
two-three seconds for each keystroke to register, sometimes longer.
I think that's because MailMate is looking for emails which have
mysteriously gone away. (Deleting emails in the database is distributed
over time and therefore this can go on for a long time if a lot of
emails have disappeared from disk.)

About a year later, I finally got around to setting up 2FA with
FastMail and using app specific passwords. Because of the experiences
that others mentioned in this thread, I ended up deleting my previous
FastMail IMAP account in MailMate as well as deleting the messages in
`~/Library/Application Support/MailMate/Messages/IMAP/`.
You shouldn't have done that last part. Never let anything but MailMate
remove or add any files in the `Messages` folder. It is to be considered
to be a private database which is just saved in a very readable
format/hierarchy.
I'm probably going to reinstall MailMate and see if starting fresh
helps, as mentioned in this thread.
That's unfortunately also the only way to fix it now. You can keep the
`.plist` files to make it easier (in `~/Library/Application
Support/MailMate/`).
However, I wanted mention this in case there's anything I could do to
help debug this, Benny, while I'm still experiencing the problem.
Thanks!
