One other option is to run a dovecot IMAP server locally on your Mac and
add it to MailMate. This gives you an ‘On My Mac’ account that
MailMate sees as just another server. Two disadvantages:
1. It takes up twice the space on your Mac as dovecot stores the
messages/attachments and MailMate stores its ‘cached’ versions too.
2. Whilst you can mostly set up dovecot and then forget it, occasionally
it might have issues and you then need to spend some time getting it
running again (this generally only happens if there’s a major update
to dovecot or MacOS).
Luckily Fredrik Jonsson keeps a page regularly updated which gives
simple instructions for getting dovecot running and noting any issues
with updates (to either dovecot or MacOS):
