[MlMt] Second instance of MailMate

[Eric Sharakan]

I wouldn't recommend this.  Having two copies of MM updating these 
important files on which it relies via a shared folder in real time is 
probably going to lead to corruption.

In fact, I just found this old comment from Benny when someone else was 
trying to do something similar (from 
https://mailmate.freron.narkive.com/C29rlbuH/mlmt-sync-mailmate-settings):

So be careful!
