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

I think I’ll need to upgrade from my current 2GB plan to the 30GB plan.

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?

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.

My level of expertise is pretty low.
