Crash while/after syncing IMAP account

Yes, the username change is a problem. Something I hadn't thought of.

The problem is the custom location setting in the General preferences pane. As it is now MailMate cannot find the correct Messages folder. There's a symbolic link in this folder which doesn't point to the correct location:
```
~/Library/Application Support/MailMate/
```
If you know how to do this then you could manually fix it in a Terminal window using the ln -s command, but otherwise it's probably better if you locate the Messages folder which is probably here:
```
/Users/<username>/com.freron.MailMate/Messages
```
And move it back into:
```
~/Library/Application Support/MailMate/
```
I hope this helps. I'll note to see if I can make MailMate robust with respect to username changes.

(I won't be online today. Sorry about the delay in my responses.)

Thanks, correcting the symlink helped.

I changed this:
```
Messages -> /Users/<oldname>/Library/Application Support/MailMate/Messages.noindex
Messages.noindex
```
to
```
Messages -> Messages.noindex
Messages.noindex
```
So in this case, relative symlinks seem to work. Maybe that helps?

Thanks again for the help and for a great Mail client. :)

Ok, this was actually a different problem case than the one I was thinking of (but essentially the same problem). Thanks for the details.

The next release of MailMate uses relative paths when making the symlinks. Both within the folder itself and when using a custom location. That should fix this and related issues. (It won't fix existing setups automatically. That'll only happen if the user changes the Spotlight setting or the custom location setting.)

Again, thanks for the report.
