It is correct that MailMate fails to detect this type of corrupt database. If you don't backup `Database.noindex` (which I actually agree is a good idea) then you might also want to leave out `Messages(.noindex)` since that's the other part of the database. The IMAP server is kind of the backup, but I can see why you might want a local backup too.

I guess MailMate should try to automatically detect this kind of state. I'll give that some thought since I would like to recommend leaving out `Database.noindex` from backups. Hmm, maybe even do that by default. A general problem is that Time Machine will some times back up files in an order which leaves the backed up database in a corrupted state.

What is the current state of this issue? Would it make a difference if I leave out only the `Headers` subfolder of `Database.noindex` when backing up?

Best
