I should add: the issue is not bandwidth to the disk--it works fine when backing up very large files.

I have added the local IMAP cache to Time Machine "do not include this directory" for backups.

Certainly worth a thought--I already exclude the MailMate index, so it's reloading everything anyway if I do a restore.

I was going to suggest leaving out the index (the `Database.noindex` folder) since that doesn't behave well with Time Machine. I don't think the other files should cause any problems and it's a lot more important to have a backup of your settings files and the `Messages` folder. You can also leave out the `Attachments` folder since it's just a cache.
