Fix the symlink at ~/Library/Application Support/MailMate/Messages to 
point to either:

1. ~/Library/Application Support/MailMate/Messages.noindex  if you have 
not set a "Custom Location" for your Messages folder.

2. Wherever your Messages folder actually lives, after copying them 
there from the old system.
