The CPU is fine. The memory usage is high, but the main problem is if it 
continues to increase. That would indicate that MailMate caches too much 
information in memory while importing. I'm not sure how much memory is 
used in regular use with 200K messages, but I wouldn't be surprised if 
it's more than 1GB. I have >30K messages and right now it's at 170MB.

The way MailMate works is that headers are fetched before the message 
bodies. This means that after the count of messages stops increasing 
MailMate is still going to work on fetching bodies. So, MailMate simply 
has not finished fetching message bodies.

I saw it in the message which was rejected by the mailing list software 
because of the size of the image. One thing that puzzles me is that 
there is only 1 connection to the Gmail server (note that you can select 
a connection and if it is active then the bottom part of the window 
shows a log of the connection). The account is fully synchronized.

I have no idea why that would not work. Could you recheck in 
`/Users/<username>/Library/Logs/`.
