I was quite unhappy about MailMate's lack of support for local mailboxes. But then I thought I should not complain, and so what I did was to install Dovecot on my Mac using Homebrew. Then I created an account in my old email program and moved the messages into the local Dovecot installation from there. Then I quit the old email program and I began using MailMate.

Note that this means (I think) that the messages are on disk twice, once in the local Dovecot installation and once in MailMate's disk cache. Oh, well.

I have over 17gb of imap data spread across 3 accounts, held locally on
two different Macs, one running Postbox 3, the other Postbox 4 (don't
bother!).

Given Postbox's Thunderbird roots and data structures, is there a way to
get MailMate to import the mbox files from Postbox?

Thanks!
