Interesting - I find the use of a "non-standard" storage system intriguing, but I'm no programmer..... I handle archiving via Devonthink. The "mail archive" database lives on a fileserver.
I've now successfully imported one account from Postbox incl all messages. My next challenge is working out how / if I can make effective use of MlMt for my access to / management of my wife's work account (we work together). She never does anything to manage the ever-growing pile of guff in her inbox - 901 unread. I'm hoping I can work out a way to sort the wheat from the chaff using smart mailboxes(!!). The counter customisations are looking really attractive right now! Vincent Kai Großjohann wrote: > I was quite unhappy about MailMate's lack of support for local > mailboxes.
