Depends on the VM technology, e.g. VMWare Fusion, Virtual Box, Parallels.

We use VMWare Fusion for stuff that absolutely must run on Windows 10, in our case micro controller programmers. We use VMWare Fusion and the main resource limit for us is the memory but this is not all allocated at once.

The best doc I can find is older and refers to VMWare Workstation https://www.vmware.com/support/ws45/doc/performance_mem_ws.html but I have no reason to think that this has changed.

Whilst it’s a hack to have to run a separate VM just for Mailmate, it may be worth trying Virtual Box as it’s free (which given it’s now Oracle, is amazing).

Can’t promise it will work the way you want, but I know that many companies use it where I work.

No experience of Parallels and I don’t like subscription models.

Bill,

Thanks for the idea, I’ll look into the different user.

Not a big fan of a VM since it is resource intensive.

Hello,

Anybody any idea ?

Do it in a VM? Do it in a different user account?

This is really a problem with the macOS application architecture. It isn't designed to support multiple instances of the same app run by the same user.
