... Thunderbird accesses both accounts directly in the normal way.
But maybe not in a fully offline mode?
MailMate is a so-called offline IMAP email client and there are no
options to change that. This means that MailMate fetches and stores a
local copy of every email in the account(s). In addition to that,
every header of every email is indexed. Although optimizations mean
that MailMate can handle fairly large email accounts (some users have
more than a million), MailMate was not really designed to handle
“huge” accounts. There is likely more that I could do to handle
large accounts more efficiently, but few of them are likely to be
quick fixes. In short, MailMate is extremely flexible, but some parts
do not scale well.
For what it's worth, I have 1.4M messages across 8 accounts. The
largest account has ~630K messages, another has 430K, and the rest are
much smaller.
