[MlMt] deleting unused and/or outdated mailboxes?

[Randall Gellens]

As Eric mentioned, quitting MailMate, going to the Finder, then your 
home directory (it should have your user name), then into the folder 
called Library, then into the folder called Preferences, and deleting 
the file called com.freron.MailMate.plist should delete all MailMate 
settings.

You can have more than one iCloud account, but your computer itself has 
a setting for one iCloud account.  Whichever mail program you use, be it 
MailMate or Apple Mail or Thunderbird or whatever, can be set to use 
your iCloud account for email or not.  If you do have programs that try 
to use iCloud, sometimes the machine demands that you enter your iCloud 
password over and over.  I find that on my 10.14 machine and it is 
annoying.  Setting the Energy Setting preferences to not go to sleep has 
helped.
