If you have multiple IMAP accounts, setting up each account can be quite
laborious.
The settings for all IMAP accounts are stored in the plist files.
I forgot to mention that you should first launch MM and then close it (!) to
ensure that some default settings are established before copying the settings
files. MM should not be running while you're copying the files.
At the very least, open MailMate and allow it to synchronize all of the emails
from the IMAP server.

By default (if you don’t enable “Indexed for Finder/Spotlight”), the
“Messages” folder is created as an alias pointing to “Messages.noindex”.
Does that alias exist, and does it point to your new Messages.noindex
folder?
