I agree with all of this wholeheartedly.  I know how IMAP is meant to 
work, but the lack of local safeguards in situations like Seebs', or 
worse still given an unannounced decision by a mail server admin to dump 
messages past a certain age in order to save disk space (or whatever), 
is one of the things that worries me about using MailMate.
