[MlMt] 2nd instance of MaiMate

[Guillaume Barrette]

Before seeing TJ's email, I thought of a manual solution, but now I 
think SwitchUp may be a better solution (less risky).

However, if you want to try, you can simply create a script (or do it 
manually) that would switch between 2 sets of MailMate associated files 
(data).

In short, you would need to switch the directories/files at:

- ~/Library/Application Support/MailMate
- ~/Library/Preferences/com.freron.MailMate.plist
- ~/Library/Caches/com.freron.MailMate
- ~/Library/Saved Application State/com.freron.MailMate.savedState

To do that, you can move them out or rename them and MailMate will 
create a new set when it starts again. Then you can switch between those 
2 sets and you should get what you want (if I'm not missing a file).

So, I would say, I won't give you any guarantee, but if you feel 
confident in manipulating those files, you should be fine. Do a backup 
before and the first 2 directories should be the 2 most important since 
they are your data and the 2 others mainly some cached data.

Hope this helps!

Best,
