It's 10 minutes by default, but I've been told about similar problems 
with Gmail before and I haven't really figured out exactly what happens 
yet.

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).

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.

(Note that for debugging you can also take mailboxes offline. This 
*does* work when selecting multiple mailboxes.)
