The latter.

There a multiple ways. You can use Keychain Access to choose the valid one, or 
you can enter it into MailMate's Security.plist:

{
        map = (
                {
                        address = "[email protected]";
                        serial = "25 0E 3A 33 6D 11 4C 0E A2 FD F6 AD 6A 36 A5 
FB";
                },
        );
}

Cheers,
Sebastian
