Based on the homepage it looks a bit like it's been abandoned: 
http://www.eudora.co.nz

Also, seems like it doesn't support SSL. Be careful with that if you are 
not only running the server locally.

When a new mailbox is created then MailMate often first creates it with 
its default name and then shortly after renames it. It sounds like the 
renaming part fails.

Try this:

* Open the Activity Viewer (⌥⌘0). This enables logging.
* Create a new mailbox and rename it.
* Wait for the spinners to stop for the account/mailbox.
* Use “Help ▸ Send Server Logs”.

Then I can see if something unexpected happens.
