[MlMt] Rebuilding cache

[Martin S Taylor]

I just tried restoring everything in ~/Library/Application Support/MailMate and now I get a message on launch saying:

MailMate failed to save a file to disk
Failed writing file (/Users/mst/ Library/Application Support/ MailMate/Messages/IMAP/ admin%40fesh.co.uk at pallas.myth-
ic-beasts.com/AGM.mailbox/AGM
2023.mailbox/Messages/
225434.eml_backup). Error: No such file or directory

so I can’t use MailMate at all.

I am using the latest version of MailMate. 2.0 (6272)

After restoring, I found that MailMate crashed repeatedly and consistently shortly after I launched it. I tried rebooting the computer, but this didn’t help. However, after about maybe twenty relaunches of MailMate the problem went away. Except…
