you use both computers, see the SpamSieve documentation on

remote operation.)

<p dir="auto">What baffles me is that I migrated everything from a 2018 MacBook Pro to an M1 13-inch MacBook Pro and have changed nothing. The set-ups are identical. Yet while the MM/SpamSieve combo on the 2018 continues to work perfectly (I just got it out & checked), the MM/SpamSieve combo on the M1 doesn’t work at all. Have tried everything I can think of, yet nothing seems to help. Any suggestions greatly appreciated. Thanks.</p>

<br />
My question is: If I completely uninstall MM, download a clean version & reinstall it, do I lose all the IMAP mailboxes I’ve created in MM?

</blockquote><p dir="auto">The IMAP mailboxes are on the server; it will neither know nor care

that you've done anything to the client. However…

<p dir="auto">Smart mailboxes are part of your MailMate configuration. If you wipe
<br />
that out—more on that below—you'll lose them.
</p>
<p dir="auto">It strikes me as extremely likely that your problem is configuration, not
<br />
the executables. Deleting and reinstalling the applications won't fix that.
<br />
Wiping out your configuration files would likely do more to fix your
<br />
problem, but of course you'd have to recreate a lot. The question is
<br />
what the issue might be.
</p>
<p dir="auto">The obvious place to look is any rules—or any rules on any other devices
<br />
you have that talk to that IMAP server. For that matter, in some situations
<br />
there are server-side rules. Generally speaking, having more than one
<br />
computer that can touch the same messages is a recipe for trouble.
