Then I added this local IMAP server in the configuration of my old email program. Then I dragged and dropped local mails from the old email program onto the IMAP server, using the old email program.

What's especially attractive is that GPG works out of the box. I've tried quite a number of programs, and GPG tends to be iffy. Another thing is that it supports Gmail bindings which is pretty cool.

Kai,
its a workaround to store emails locally. My local mail store is bigger than my IMAP limit on the severs (I use more than one).

On question now - is Mailmate translated to other languages then english - my native language is german.
