I keep coming back to the theory that maybe MailMate should have an 
option for "offline accounts" which basically consists of running a 
virtual IMAP server on a non-standard port and keeping a separate copy 
of that account's messages. The appeal here is that it gives you two 
copies of that mail; the anti-appeal is that it gives you two copies of 
that mail. But if you care about reliable backups more than space, well.
