I'm not quite sure what you mean. MailMate, along with many IMAP 
clients, keeps a cache of mail locally and you can take folders offline 
to prevent synching. With a protocol like IMAP you have to weigh up 
whether you want to synchronise and, if so, which is likely to be the 
canonical source. If not you should look at an archive system.
