Yes.  Benny has described in the past a mechanism for creating a dummy 
account and to use its cache as a stand-in for a local account.  This 
was described as a workaround and I don't think it's officially 
supported.

What I do is to run Dovecot on my MacBook and that's where my local mail 
goes.  It means that the local mail is on my disk twice (once in Dovecot 
and once in MailMate's cache).  That's the price I'm paying for being 
too chicken to do the workaround thing.
