<p dir="auto">Relining does not help. Here’s the situation and the sequence of steps:</p>
<p dir="auto">I have lots of folders and subfolders; it’s a gmail account but through my university and the address is <a href="mailto:howie@ucr.edu">howie@ucr.edu</a><br>
I had been using Apple Mail, but I much prefer your program. I’m just learning as I go.</p>
<p dir="auto">Sequence of steps: for some reason, a first level folder (with lots of subfolders) got moved and I found this first level folder and all it’s contents as a subfolder of another folder. So I tried to move the whole thing to be where it belongs, as a first level folder. I did it by drag and drop and the stuff (all or certainly most of it) did move, but I can’t delete what remains as an extensive sub-folder. I can’t imagine that this is clear. Anyway, I’m happy to explain further.<br>

<p dir="auto">It looks like it's already deleted, but for some reason MailMate does not know this. Relaunching might clear this up, but if it doesn't then I'd like to debug the issue. (Ideally, I'd like a sequence of steps which reproduces the issue, but that might be tricky since I suspect race conditions could be involved.)</p>
<p dir="auto">There's a (possibly) separate issue. The <code>[THROTTLED]</code> part of the response means that there has been more traffic between you and the server than Google allows. This should only happen when initially synchronizing a large account. Otherwise, it's a sign that something is “looping”. Is it a large account in terms of the number of messages and/or an account with a large number of mailboxes?</p>
