<p dir="auto">No, this is not possible.</p>

<p dir="auto">I don't use Firefox, but it would be nice if MailMate had multiple “modes/workspaces/profiles” or whatever you would like to call it, but none of them would allow two instances of MailMate running.</p>
<p dir="auto">You could possibly make some scripts where you switched the working directory of MailMate while it is not running, but there might be things I haven't thought of. You would at least have to handle both a folder and a file:</p>
<pre style="margin-left: 15px; margin-right: 15px; padding: 5px; background-color: #F7F7F7; border-radius: 5px 5px 5px 5px; overflow-x: auto; max-width: 90vw;"><code style="margin: 0 0; border-radius: 3px; background-color: #F7F7F7; padding: 0px;">~/Library/Application Support/MailMate
~/Preferences/com.freron.MailMate.plist
</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">Note that the latter would require using the <code style="margin: 0 0; padding: 0 0.25em; border-radius: 3px; background-color: #F7F7F7;">defaults</code> command since its content is cached in memory.</p>
