Hello all — Thank you very much for your responses…the feedback is
very helpful. I also use C-Command’s SpamSieve and EagleFiler
products as both are phenomenal at what they do. Talking specifically
about EagleFiler, I personally looked at several different methods and
apps for email archiving — DevonThink, MailSteward, Evernote, local
exports, and even a custom database — and for me, EF was the best
all around option.
I must admit that while I have already setup a few accounts in MM, I
had not yet noticed that in-app local message storage was not
available (just hadn’t tried it yet) so thank you for educating me
there. With that in mind, does anyone know why this wasn’t
implemented? Was this intentional, too much work, etc?
This is an intentional design decision made by Benny. Whenever a
request has come up to add local storage, Benny has steadfastly said
"no".
I'll let him expound on his thoughts regarding this.

Also, is there sufficient user desire for implementing in-app local
storage? I admit that as I write,
this, I am forced to consider that maybe not having this feature is a
blessing in disguise because it probably forces some of us to use a
more reliable archival process and\or not keeping large amounts of
mail on the server.
Again, thanks for your feedback and please feel free to keep it
coming…

My core questions would be around performance (I have well over 150k

functionality, things you wish you’d known before migrating, etc.
I wouldn't worry about performance or reliability too much with only
150,000 messages. There are people on this mailing list with millions
of messages and MailMate "just copes". :) (I have just shy of 2
million messages and I have one mailbox with just over 150,000
messages in it. I know that I am not the biggest email hoarder here.)
As an FYI, I did check out the Mailmate Mailman archive but didn’t
find a lot concerning migrating from Apple Mail…hence this message.
If I were to venture a guess ... I'd say it's pretty uneventful for
most people. :)
These are some functional differences I encountered between MM and
Apple Mail:
No POP3 support
No built-in spam filtering
No local, "on your Mac" mailboxes. Everything is stored on the
server.
Composing rich emails is done with Markdown
For me, the first item was a non-issue. To address the second, I use
SpamSieve (Apple Mail's junk filtering had really begun failing me
anyway). For the third, I bought EagleFiler to archive older emails I
had been storing locally with Apple Mail.
SpamSieve and EagleFiler are both excellent products from C-Command
Software (https://c-command.com/ <https://c-command.com/> )
Finally, composing emails with Markdown took some getting used to but
I now really like it. One of the (few) complaints I sometimes read
about MM is that the Markdown processor used is a bit old and crufty,
and missing some features.
All in all I'm an extremely happy MM customer, and simply can't
imagine ever going back to Apple Mail.
