Glenn,
Thank you very much for your reply. You are my only link to a possible solution. I’ve tried all I know to no avail, and Benny is not reachable (I hope he’s OK…).

When I install MM 1.14 on my new Catalina volume with no migrated messages or settings, it progresses with the initial setup (it immediately asks for the first IMAP address). All seems normal. 

If I first copy the folder ~/Library/Application Support/MailMate (7.4 GB) to the new Catalina volume, when I launch MM I see this error:

Re-launching brings the same message.

The Original path is identical for both Application Support/MailMate folders (Sierra and Catalina volumes).

In the Catalina Get Info box I clicked on the “Select New Original…” button and navigated to the Catalina volume’s Messages.noindex folder. Just for grins. Same error when attempting to launch MM.

Any help or even wild suggestions are welcome. I have no Mac email client and my thumbs are wearing out! 

Thanks,
Dave
