crash on startup after aborted iCloud import
Reported by Dave | May 22nd, 2020 @ 01:17 AM
Hello. I reinstalled macOS on my laptop and was setting up a fresh install of MailMate. I launched it, got a prompt about importing my iCloud email account, which I selected, but then it prompted me for my email password. I presumed I had to set up some sort of app-specific password in iCloud first so I hit cancel, then MailMate closed itself. Now every time I launch it it immediate crashes.
Running from Terminal:
% /Applications/MailMate.app/Contents/MacOS/MailMate
stat failed: Too many levels of symbolic links
Filename: '/Users/dave/Library/Application Support/MailMate/Messages/IMAP/<my_local-part>@p13-imap.mail.me.com/State.plist_backup'
zsh: abort /Applications/MailMate.app/Contents/MacOS/MailMate
%
Looks like a dir somehow ended up linking to itself:
% ls -l '/Users/dave/Library/Application Support/MailMate/'

I should add that after moving the '/Users/dave/Library/Application Support/MailMate' dir MailMate started up fine.
