Benny,
Managed to solve the issue.
- took all of the mailboxes of line
- synchronised the concerned mailbox ( MM created a lost mail )
just left MM do his thing for some hours
- then delete all of these emails via the web interface of the server
So far so good or am I too optimistic :-)

I tried to import an old Eudora mailbox which was very successful.
Unfortunately I picked the wrong file resulting in a 700Mb import

Bad idea I had - consequences I suffer
MM started to sync to the server and I wanted to stop this from
happening, . . .
You should have taken the mailbox offline then (as a first step). This
can be done for individual mailboxes.
I first deleted the mails but being impatient I though I had a better
idea, . . .
I forced quit MM
I trashed the eml files in the ~/MailMate/Messages/... for the given
IMAP sub folders
Never ever do that!
Now MM still deleting the mails from its database, which not so fast
as the import :-(
- Is there a way to speed this process up ?
- Is there a way I can reset the database for only 1 IMAP account ?
Not for all of my accounts ?
No, it's monolithic. It's also very tricky to make a nice recovery
without the files you trashed. I would recommend refetching everything
instead. You can do that by moving/deleting these folders:
~/Library/Application Support/MailMate/Messages
~/Library/Application Support/MailMate/Database.noindex
~/Library/Application Support/MailMate/Attachments
(I recommend keeping the old Messages folder around until you are sure
you are not missing any messages -- that would be any messages never
uploaded to the IMAP servers for some reason.)
I'm sorry I don't have a better solution for you.
