Martin, I’m at a loss. There might be clues in that error…
The settings folder I referred to restoring from your backup (be sure close the app first) would be everything in *~/Library/Application Support/MailMate/* Seems you only attempted a restore of Messages folder? Maybe another opinion is needed on this. Ask Benny. Personally, I have not had this situation, but have restored my settings (not Messages) in the past with success. There is a process for this in the MM Help menu and MM Manual. Respectfully, Henry Seiden - - Techworks Pro Co.
