> ln -hfs afp://[NAS]/data/MailMate/Messages ~/Library/Application Support/MailMate/Messages I tried it again from scratch and this time it worked. I think there may have been a problem with how I changed the symlink the first time.
I also see that now Options-General-Messages Folder-Custom location has updated to reflect the symlink. This is unexpected. Normally a user would expect to be able to change the symlink by changing that setting. My message store had file mix-ups in this whole process so I'm starting with a new one. I know I can use the “Message ▸ Reset...” menu item after selecting all emails in each folder. Is there a way to do this for a whole Account without deleting and re-adding it?
