I'm trying to determine which folders I can safely exclude from a Time
Machine backup...
I haven't been able to locate any official documentation on this. I've
come across some messages on the mailing list, but they don't offer
clear advice either.
I would expect an info in this section of the MailMate Manual:
https://manual.mailmate-app.com/rebuild
Below are my current directories...
- Are there any other important directories located elsewhere?
- Is it safe to exclude both Messages.noindex/ and Messages/?
- Additionally, I've heard suggestions about excluding
Database.noindex/. Would this be advisable?
```
