Where Does MailMate Store Mail and Settings?

Last updated

MailMate keeps mail in DataVaults inside its Application Support folder, with preferences alongside. Each account gets a vault, which makes per account backup and pruning straightforward.

Exact interior names may vary by release; the DataVaults root stays the anchor. Use Go to Folder in Finder since Library hides by default.
