<p dir="auto">Perhaps MM could detect this type of error and place the email in a “quarantine” state (while generating an info or log file). This way, the message is set aside and doesn’t block the upload of other emails.</p>

<p dir="auto">@Benny: I found out that I can get a detailed log in the activity window. And it really looks like I have hit a problem. Here is the log stripped down to the core problem:</p>

<p dir="auto">The first part is the Gmail server breaking the connection because it doesn't like the message uploaded. The response is really bad because it has no actionable information (despite the human readable string) and it also forces the email client to re-connect. The natural thing to do for the email client is just to retry. The final line above is MailMate telling us that it's trying to work around the issue (likely because I've encountered it before). This obviously doesn't work. I'm unsure if this is also why MailMate doesn't stop retrying. I'll have to look into that. It would be easier if you can locate the email and then use the Finder to compress it before sending it to me (via Help > Send Feedback). Then I can likely reproduce the issue.</p>
<p dir="auto">The log includes this line:</p>
<pre style="margin-left: 15px; margin-right: 15px; padding: 5px; background-color: #F7F7F7; border-radius: 5px 5px 5px 5px; overflow-x: auto; max-width: 90vw;"><code style="margin: 0 0; border-radius: 3px; background-color: #F7F7F7; padding: 0px;">X-Opera-Status: 0500000000000002a348ccf4800004397e08000480000439ac0000000000000005000
</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">You might therefore be able to find the email like this:</p>

<p dir="auto">You might want a more limited path to search.</p>
