I think I’d prefer to wipe everything and re-download, no matter how
long it takes. So many times has MailMate synchronised with the IMAP
server and deleted important emails.
At the moment I know the IMAP server is intact, and I’d like to
start MailMate from a blank sheet, as it were.
How do I do this?
0. Quit MailMate.
1. Delete MailMate.app from the Applications folder. On recent macOS
versions this also removes anything executable the app installed in
/Library/ or ~/Library/
2. Delete ~/Library/Preferences/com.freron.MailMate.plist
3. Delete ~/Library/Application Support/MailMate/
4. Reinstall MailMate.
OR, if you want to try to retain preferences, you could just delete
~/Library/Application Support/MailMate/Database.noindex and
~/Library/Application Support/MailMate/Messages. That should retain your
accounts, mailboxes, and all other prefs.
