Hi Chris
I'm still on 10.6.8, so I dont know if my way of syncing will work with el Cap.
What I did is placing the Folder called "mailboxes" inside ~Library/Mail
somewhere externally and replaced it in ~Library/Mail with a symlink.
In the external mailboxes folder, there should be at least one named mailbox
(i.e. XXXXX.mbox)
After receiving Mails, I drag'n drop them to XXXXX.mbox which shows up in
mail.app's mailbox section.
Chronosync then syncs my external folder and in the ~Library/Mail at least the
envelope index, at your choice also other stuff, but NO pop.xxx@xxx- folder
