I fetched version 5673 from the /archives/ directory. It launched and created a new MailMate folder. I quit MM and copied all config plists from the old folder to the new folder. MM launched just fine and started fetching all mails. That took quite a while despite me being in 1GB internet connection (I do have some 200,000 emails in 25 accounts), but all is well.

The one from last week is identified as 2.0 beta whereas the one downloaded now is 1.14.

There's your problem: The "2.0 beta" is an obsolete artifact. Benny was maintaining 2 development branches for some time but it has been a long time since the "2.0 beta" got any updates and he advised those of us using it that he was going to just develop the 1.x branch henceforth.
