Just to be clear about the latter solution: I don't recommend it, 
because it fails in a subtle way. MailMate is very careful when moving 
messages between IMAP servers. A message is not deleted from the source 
IMAP mailbox until *after* it has been uploaded to the destination IMAP 
mailbox. A bogus offline account would never allow uploading messages 
and therefore the messages are never deleted from the source account. 
(This is not easily seen in MailMate, because it's just a pending 
synchronization event which is assumed to be a temporary state.)
