I am new to MailMate, so please bare with me and my slightly OT 
question: why keeping so many email messages in MailMate (or any other 
email app at all)?

I still have all my email messages since 2002 but keep only a relevant 
(and therefore *very small* and *constantly fresh*) subset in my email 
app of choice (currently MailMate) and all the rest in archives 
(external to the email app and servers and searchable via Finder and/or 
an email archive app).
Not using my email app as a task manager (and delegating this to a 
dedicated task manager app) makes this easy too.

I'm not pretending that my method is better and I also understand that 
MailMate can graciously manage a huge amount of email - but why keeping 
all this information there and not somewhere else, once it not implying 
constantly replying / forwarding / etc.?

Thanks!


Regards,
Vlad
