FWIW, I had more than a few problems with the results of the migration assistant when I transitioned to an M1 iMac on Monterey. It grabbed a lot of crufty old stuff, some of which wasn’t even M1 compatible. I wouldn’t use it again.

I would definitely consider re-installing MailMate from scratch. You can just let MailMate resync everything, which might take a while. You can restore your foldering rules and filters by copying the relevant preference files, just remember to exit MailMate and save backups before editing any .plist files.

Have you considered upgrading to Ventura (mac OS 13.0.1)? It’s been quite stable for me.
