With that in mind, does anyone know why this wasn’t implemented? Was this intentional, too much work, etc? Also, is there sufficient user desire for implementing in-app local storage? I admit that as I write, this, I am forced to consider that maybe not having this feature is a blessing in disguise because it probably forces some of us to use a more reliable archival process and\or not keeping large amounts of mail on the server.</p>

<p dir="auto">The local -vs- server storage issue may need some clarification. MailMate doesn't have local <strong>only</strong> storage. MailMate <strong>does</strong> store a <strong>copy</strong> of messages locally. So if you are offline, you still have access to all your messages. You can even move messages to different mailboxes; when MailMate reconnects to the IMAP server it will sync all the changes (both local and from server).</p>
<p dir="auto">The "authoritative" storage is on the server, with "cache" storage locally. For me, that's best of both worlds.</p>
<p dir="auto">To reduce the amount of server storage, like others on this list, I use both local Dovecot and archival outside MM.</p>
