<p dir="auto">Hi Benny, thank you for this - but I just had a thought, wondering if this could work — what if I remove the IMAP password info from the account, but leave the SMTP? Would it still function or would it just bug me to fix it all the time? ;-)</p>

<p dir="auto">Yes, manually just means that MailMate won't fetch emails unless you somehow interact with the mailbox (selecting it, moving emails to it, etc.).</p>

<p dir="auto">You can take the INBOX of the account specifically offline using “Mailbox ▸ Take Offline”. Or you can take the entire account offline, but then your sent emails won't be uploaded to the “Sent Messages” mailbox of the account.</p>
<p dir="auto">But note that it can be a bit hard to see what's going on if some mailboxes are offline, e.g., if you move something from/to an offline mailbox within the account then MailMate cannot synchronize this move with the server, but it'll still look like it was moved in MailMate.</p>
