[MlMt] Exclude from Backup / Time Machine

[Michael Nietzold]

I'm trying to determine which folders I can safely exclude from a Time 
Machine backup...

I haven't been able to locate any official documentation on this. I've 
come across some messages on the mailing list, but they don't offer 
clear advice either.

I would expect an info in this section of the MailMate Manual: 
https://manual.mailmate-app.com/rebuild

Below are my current directories...

- Are there any other important directories located elsewhere?
- Is it safe to exclude both Messages.noindex/ and Messages/?
- Additionally, I've heard suggestions about excluding 
Database.noindex/. Would this be advisable?


```
