I think I’d prefer to wipe everything and re-download, no matter
how long it takes. So many times has MailMate synchronised with the
IMAP server and deleted important emails.
At the moment I know the IMAP server is intact, and I’d like to
start MailMate from a blank sheet, as it were.
How do I do this?
0. Quit MailMate.
1. Delete MailMate.app from the Applications folder. On recent macOS
versions this also removes anything executable the app installed in
/Library/ or ~/Library/
2. Delete ~/Library/Preferences/com.freron.MailMate.plist
3. Delete ~/Library/Application Support/MailMate/
4. Reinstall MailMate.
Thanks. All done. Most of the problems were caused by Apple’s Mail.app
not handling my mailboxes properly. There are many emails on my IMAP
server which simply don’t show up in Mail.app – they’re there when
I look at the Web interface, and they’re there when I look using
MailMate, but Mail.app just won’t acknowledge thir existence. Weird.
