[MlMt] migrating from apple mail to mail mate - prospective user

[Henry Seiden]

Seems like an IMAP Server locally run could defray the entire expense of 
personal email servers. For business where it’s likely necessary on a 
company/private server that wouldn’t be an option.

For me, iCloud accounts are included with other services so there’s no 
financial incentive. My message counts/sizes are entirely within the 
scope other storage plan. However I do manage the storage of archival 
data by year and keep two years only current and previous years data on 
line per account.

Respectfully,

Henry
