It was a while before I had time to work on this again. Once I did another full restore from backup of the whole Mailmate Application Support folder, the issue went away. I have no idea what was new/different this time but I’m really happy to have proper email back! This message has been stuck in my Drafts queue for some other reason for a very long time, not sure why this and only this refused to send, sorry for the slow update.

Re: [MlMt] Two suggestions to make working with rules easier
This would be very helpful to me, as well. Great suggestions.

[MlMt] Excessive Message Duplication
Greetings! I am finally admitting defeat on several major issues I have been having with Mailmate for months. I am not certain how/if they are related so I am just going to try and lay out everything and go from there… 1: My primary email account (this one, at gmail) is almost continuously “throttled”. I can’t understand why. I’ve looked through all the documentation I can find and all the threads on the mailing list that seemed relevant. Eventually I decided that maybe it was repeatedly downloading lots of messages (though this was more because it seemed to be the case for others than because I could see the traffic). I had already intended to create new emails for different purposes to reduce the single email burden, so I decided now was as good a time as ever… So, I moved a bunch of emails and changed various subscriptions. For a while this seemed to help, but eventually I noticed some other issues (below). 2: Messages deleted in MailMate don’t delete off of the server (keep showing up in webmail or iOS Mail client) and will eventually re-download. I’ve deleted the same messages dozens of times. Sometimes it seems to stick, other times it doesn’t. 3: Some accounts have generated MASSIVE duplication of some messages. I’ve seen this on both gmail and outlook accounts. The worst is an outlook account that duplicated several messages at least 50,000 times (it isn’t clear if that’s where it stopped, or more just wouldn’t show up at once). I tried deleting them from Mailmate and they just came back, over rand over. Eventually I downloaded the Outlook mail client and deleted them there. Which… still didn’t work. I spent several days in Mailmate, Outlook webmail, and Outlook client deleting messages before, eventually, I seem to have successfully purged most of the massive duplication. I still have handfuls of copies of almost every message in that particular account (“select duplicates” only partially works). 4: Even once the duplicates are removed, in some cases they keep duplicating so long as I leave the problem account online. It doesn’t seem as fast as before, but I have to leave one account disconnected even now. (I turned it on when I started writing bullet 3 above and appear to have several hundred new copies of one particular email.) I assume this isn’t enough information to really help. What logs or additional data would be helpful? I am currently at Version 1.13.2 (5673), Catalina 10.15.7 (19H2).
