No. MailMate would not respect these symlinks and quickly overwrite them 
(if they work at all). Also, MailMate does not detect if these files are 
changed (and this cannot easily be changed). Changes could easily be 
overwritten. If only 1 copy of MailMate was guaranteed to be running 
then this wouldn't be a problem, but then we are back to scripting.

(Synchronization of settings is naturally on the todo, but it's not 
going to happen soon. The plan is to use an IMAP mailbox to do this 
since this is essentially also a cloud drive -- and the user must 
already have an IMAP account.)
