I tried moving the target directory (com.freron.MailMate) to the NAS and changing the link, but now MailMate crashes when run. I tried moving the target directory to a USB drive and changed the link to point to that. MailMate crashes when run.
I got MailMate to run again by deleting the symbolic link, but all but newly received messages have their content missing. I could refetch messages using the “Message ▸ Reset...” menu item, but want to move the directory where they are stored first. I've tried multiple times changing the folder in Options-General-Messages Folder-Custom location. However, that always reverts after restarting MailMate.
