There are people on this mailing list with millions of messages and MailMate "just copes". :) (I have just shy of 2 million messages and I have one mailbox with just over 150,000 messages in it. I know that I am not the biggest email hoarder here.)<br>

<p dir="auto">These are some functional differences I encountered between MM and Apple Mail:</p>
<ul>
<li>No POP3 support</li>
<li>No built-in spam filtering</li>
<li>No local, "on your Mac" mailboxes. Everything is stored on the server.</li>
<li>Composing rich emails is done with Markdown</li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto">For me, the first item was a non-issue. To address the second, I use SpamSieve (Apple Mail's junk filtering had really begun failing me anyway). For the third, I bought EagleFiler to archive older emails I had been storing locally with Apple Mail.</p>
<p dir="auto">SpamSieve and EagleFiler are both excellent products from C-Command Software (<a href="https://c-command.com/" style="color:#3983C4">https://c-command.com/</a>)</p>
<p dir="auto">Finally, composing emails with Markdown took some getting used to but I now really like it. One of the (few) complaints I sometimes read about MM is that the Markdown processor used is a bit old and crufty, and missing some features.</p>
<p dir="auto">All in all I'm an extremely happy MM customer, and simply can't imagine ever going back to Apple Mail.</p>
