<p dir="auto">Which MailMate files/folders that are prone to regular updating / change would be safe to exclude from backup? For instance, within "Application Support", would it be safe to omit "Database.noindex" and still make sense to keep the "Messages" folder?</p>

<p dir="auto">Yes, in general it's probably a good idea to leave <code>Database.noindex</code> out of backups. You also don't need <code>Attachments</code> which is essentially just a cache. Since MailMate only supports IMAP then one could also argue that you don't need <code>Messages</code> (if everything is synchronized).</p>
<p dir="auto">The most important parts are the main <code>.plist</code> files and the <code>Resources</code> folder if you have made any customizations. Note that restoring from a backup can easily result in a corrupted database. If you only use these files (plist and Resources) then corruption is unlikely and MailMate just refetches from the IMAP servers.</p>
<p dir="auto">Hmm, I think there might be a problem with backing up <code>Messages</code> without backing up <code>Database.noindex</code> since I don't think MailMate is going to detect it as being a corrupted database (it's just missing). The problem is that MailMate then won't use the existing content of the <code>Messages</code> folder when synchronizing accounts...</p>
