I assume you did restart MailMate. The other potential explanation is 
something I realized recently. If you ever changed the IMAP settings of 
this account then it's actually not the `serverURL` you need, but 
something named `shadowServerURL`:

	grep shadowServerURL ~/Library/Application\ 
Support/MailMate/Sources.plist |
cut -d\" -f2

Another way to see it is that it should match whatever the folder name 
is here:

	~/Library/Application Support/MailMate/Messages/IMAP/

The `shadowServerURL` is an implementation detail needed to be able to 
allow IMAP account changes to take effect quickly (without a lot of 
database index changes). It wouldn't be a problem if I provided a GUI 
for setting the default account :-)

If this doesn't help then I'll need more details. You can send me a 
screenshot of the error and this file (off list):

	~/Library/Application Support/MailMate/Sources.plist
