Does that make sense?
It almost makes sense. The problem I’m having is wrapping my head
around IMAP in general, I think. I have been almost exclusively using
POP for so many years now.
So is a ‘pre-existing IMAP mailbox’ one that is for a specific
email address? Is it in the Sources area? There are so MANY mailboxes
here it’s very confusing. Of course I have a half dozen email
addresses in play, so it’s my own fault.

I used to use Eudora and POP for ever and ever, so when I switched to
MailMate and IMAP, it took some mental effort and head scratching to
adjust. My suggestion is that you embrace the IMAP paradigm rather than
sticking to POP style. It took me some physical effort to set all up but
it was well worth it and the effort was mostly only during the initial
setup. In practical terms, I suggest that you learn to use the smart
mailboxes that MailMate offers and do not or only minimally use
additional real folder/mailboxes in your IMAP account. A lot more power
and flexibility to gain over time. Focus more on creating an optimal
mail workflow than recreating your previous setup.
