This is not a fast process. It is faster than wiping everything and
re-downloading the mail.
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.

Thanks. All done. Most of the problems were caused by Apple’s
Mail.app not handling my mailboxes properly. There are many emails on
my IMAP server which simply don’t show up in Mail.app – they’re
there when I look at the Web interface, and they’re there when I
look using MailMate, but Mail.app just won’t acknowledge thir
existence. Weird.
That is usually a consequence of MailMate and webmail using a real
"Trash" folder for staging message deletion while Apple Mail uses the
IMAP "\Deleted" keyword, which MailMate doesn't fully support. There is
discussion of tweaks to that in the MailMate Help in the Hidden
Preferences section.
