<p dir="auto">Yes, you can right-click a mailbox and change its “Synchronization Schedule”. Unfortunately this does not work for selecting multiple mailboxes, but you can set it on the account itself (under SOURCES) and that'll work as a default for any mailboxes in the account with no explicit setting (except the INBOX).</p>
<p dir="auto">I'm not sure this is going to fix the problem. The problem might be “[Gmail]/All Mail” (if you subscribe to this mailbox). In any case, I would appreciate if you could open the Activity Viewer in MailMate (see the Window menu), keep MailMate running/synchronizing for a while, and then use “Help ▸ Send Server Logs” to send me an example. That might help me analyze what the problem is.</p>
<p dir="auto">(Note that for debugging you can also take mailboxes offline. This <em>does</em> work when selecting multiple mailboxes.)</p>
