I quit MailMate and reopened in order to be able to compose the email that I just sent. As soon as it started sending, MailMate became really sluggish. As I write this email, it takes about two-three seconds for each keystroke to register, sometimes longer.</p>

<p dir="auto">I think that's because MailMate is looking for emails which have mysteriously gone away. (Deleting emails in the database is distributed over time and therefore this can go on for a long time if a lot of emails have disappeared from disk.)</p>

<p dir="auto">You shouldn't have done that last part. Never let anything but MailMate remove or add any files in the <code style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:3px; margin:0; padding:0 0.4em" bgcolor="#F7F7F7">Messages</code> folder. It is to be considered to be a private database which is just saved in a very readable format/hierarchy.</p>

<p dir="auto">That's unfortunately also the only way to fix it now. You can keep the <code style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:3px; margin:0; padding:0 0.4em" bgcolor="#F7F7F7">.plist</code> files to make it easier (in <code style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:3px; margin:0; padding:0 0.4em" bgcolor="#F7F7F7">~/Library/Application Support/MailMate/</code>).</p>
