<p dir="auto">To make the story short, after some checking, I removed the MailMate folder from the Application Support (I left the preference file as I checked that it does not affect anything). I fetched version 5673 from the /archives/ directory. It launched and created a new MailMate folder. I quit MM and copied all config plists from the old folder to the new folder. MM launched just fine and started fetching all mails. That took quite a while despite me being in 1GB internet connection (I do have some 200,000 emails in 25 accounts), but all is well.</p>
<p dir="auto">I then fetched version 5850 and it launched fine. The layout needed a fix and I can’t say I care too much for the bland grayish look, but it works.</p>
<p dir="auto">I then fetched 5918 to move further and noticed that the version I fetched from the /Archives/ is 14.6 MB whereas the version I fetched last week from the download page is 7,5 MB (I am talking about the tbz file). The one from last week is identified as 2.0 beta whereas the one downloaded now is 1.14. It works fine and it has a bit of a color but it is somewhat bland, making it harder than needed to find the correct mailboxes. I will look into maybe replacing icons later. For now, I am happy that it works.</p>
<p dir="auto">To round up testing, I put back the original MailMate folder into the Application Support and now the app crashes as before. Upon quick check, I noticed that the folder structure have changed somewhat. Attachments are elsewhere for example, so it seems that indeed refetching the mails and having MailMate create proper set up under Monterey was the key.</p>
<p dir="auto">Why am I using Monterey and not Ventura? The laptop I just bought came with Monterey and since I am moving from El Capitan, adding 1 extra jump does not seem like a smart idea. I am jumping quite far already. I may venture to Ventura later, when I get all working.</p>
<p dir="auto">Anyway, thanks all for help!</p>

The new computer is running MacOS Monterey 12.3 and I downloaded and installed MailMate 5918.</p>
</blockquote><p dir="auto">FWIW, I had more than a few problems with the results of the migration assistant when I transitioned to an M1 iMac on Monterey. It grabbed a lot of crufty old stuff, some of which wasn’t even M1 compatible. I wouldn’t use it again.</p>
<p dir="auto">I would definitely consider re-installing MailMate from scratch. You can just let MailMate resync everything, which might take a while. You can restore your foldering rules and filters by copying the relevant preference files, just remember to exit MailMate and save backups before editing any .plist files.</p>
<p dir="auto">Have you considered upgrading to Ventura (mac OS 13.0.1)? It’s been quite stable for me.</p>
