Hi Scott,

This requires some surgery, but it’s doable.

IMAP accounts are stored in 
`~/Library/ApplicationSupport/MailMate/Sources.plist`.

SMTP accounts are stored in 
`~/Library/ApplicationSupport/MailMate/Submission.plist`.

Sending identities are stored in 
`~/Library/ApplicationSupport/MailMate/Identities.plist`.

If you’re familiar with plist syntax this should be pretty 
straightforward.

The arrangement and properties of folders are stored in 
`~/Library/ApplicationSupport/MailMate/Mailboxes.plist`. This one is 
pretty complicated so I would probably first try leaving it alone and 
seeing if MailMate freaks out when it finds that the source for some 
mailboxes has disappeared. If so, you’ll need to remove the items that 
reference the account you’ve deleted in their `uuid` value. And then 
if any of the items your deleted are mentioned in another item’s 
`previousUUID` value, you’ll probably have to change the 
`previousUUID` value to point to an item that still exists. (This is how 
item ordering is defined.)

Make sure MailMate is not running when you edit these. And back them up!

Cached messages are stored in subfolders of 
`~/Library/ApplicationSupport/MailMate/Messages.noindex/IMAP`. You can 
delete these once the account is gone.

Hope this helps,
