<p dir="auto">MailMate only imports the IMAP account settings found and then fetches all the messages from the IMAP server (MailMate is fully offline and keeps a local copy of all messages). MailMate is IMAP only and therefore no messages are imported directly from Thunderbird (or Apple Mail).</p>

<p dir="auto">If you rely on having an HTML composer then note that this is not available in MailMate (except for simple Markdown-generated HTML). Other common requests are HTML signatures, correspondence view, non-strict threading of messages, message redirection, and probably much more.</p>
<p dir="auto">It's easier to read the manual on the web page than using the built-in Help pages (at least that is my opinion): <a href="http://manual.mailmate-app.com">http://manual.mailmate-app.com</a></p>
<p dir="auto">Thanks for considering MailMate.</p>
