Some people set up a local IMAP server just for MM to use or configure a totally bogus account into which messages can be moved, where they will sit forever waiting to be synched to a server that doesn't exist.

Just to be clear about the latter solution: I don't recommend it, because it fails in a subtle way. MailMate is very careful when moving messages between IMAP servers. A message is not deleted from the source IMAP mailbox until *after* it has been uploaded to the destination IMAP mailbox. A bogus offline account would never allow uploading messages and therefore the messages are never deleted from the source account. (This is not easily seen in MailMate, because it's just a pending synchronization event which is assumed to be a temporary state.)
