<p dir="auto">I have discovered that I can see some gmail email on my Mac mini but not on the MBP. I even do a search on the MBP to make sure my view did not stop me from seeing the email, but I could not find a trace of that particular email</p>

<p dir="auto">The blog post linked below from Benny <em>might</em> be relevant to your situation, depending on how you have configured Gmail on your two devices. Gmail’s data model with message labels instead of folders is annoyingly not-quite-IMAP, and their support for IMAP is somewhat hamstrung by the mismatch. It’s possible that you won’t see certain messages on one machine if your configurations differ.<br>

<p dir="auto">A side issue , which may or may not be related. Emails I read on my MBP are unread on the Mac mini, may be there is a time delay for the imap to reflect the status, but I suspect that there is something wrong on my setting somewhere</p>

<p dir="auto">This last paragraph makes me think the problem is deeper. There is typically no significant time delay when propagating message state across multiple IMAP clients. It almost sounds like you’re talking to two different IMAP servers, where the MBP talks to a server mirroring a subset of the messages seen by the Mac mini.</p>
<p dir="auto">One quick check: Are you sure both IMAP accounts are “online” in MailMate? I have seen MailMate take an account offline after fighting with another instance of MailMate running on a separate machine.</p>
