Thanks for your response. The fact that we both use Fastmail puts us on the same page.

I noodled around with MailMate a few years ago, and ISTR that there was an option to import my entire Apple Mail database into MailMate, although I didn’t actually do it. I take it that that doesn’t address the issue you mention above, even if the database can be imported? > > When you've ascertained that, you'll have to transfer all your Apple Mail > folders which are stored 'On My Mac' onto the IMAP server at FastMail.

I assume this would be a separate account in Apple Mail? As I said earlier, I don’t want to ditch the POP3 mailbox until things are squared away with MailMate. > > > Does that make sense?

My level of expertise is pretty low. _______________________________________________ mailmate mailing list [email protected] https://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate
