No, this is not possible.

I don't use Firefox, but it would be nice if MailMate had multiple 
“modes/workspaces/profiles” or whatever you would like to call it, 
but none of them would allow two instances of MailMate running.

You could possibly make some scripts where you switched the working 
directory of MailMate while it is not running, but there might be things 
I haven't thought of. You would at least have to handle both a folder 
and a file:

	~/Library/Application Support/MailMate
	~/Preferences/com.freron.MailMate.plist

Note that the latter would require using the `defaults` command since 
its content is cached in memory.
