I'm afraid it wouldn't work. The symlink would be overwritten whenever 
you updated a signature.


The Omnisync sync might work differently (I assume so or they wouldn't 
have invented it). Might be worth officially or unofficially exploring 
whether that is more graceful;)


If I can make it work via IMAP then that would be preferable since it 
would not require a third party service to be involved. (You would also 
get your existing settings just by adding an IMAP account to MailMate.)

If you manage to do this and the rules disappear again then let me

Are there plans to make rules available across computers I use. 
Sometimes I'll enter rules on my laptop and sometimes on my desktop 
and it would be nice if I didn't have to do this twice. Possibly sync 
using Dropbox?
I only have some notes on thoughts about how this could work. 
Something like Dropbox could be used, but I think it might be better 
to simply use IMAP for this purpose (the user could be asked to select 
a special IMAP mailbox for MailMate settings). It's not as trivial as 
it sounds though :-)
