Take the account offline and locate the large message (maybe using the 
Size column in the messages outline). Delete it permanently using 
“Message ▸ Delete Now”. This should stop MailMate from trying to 
upload it to the server.

Ideally, MailMate should offer to do this for you, but the IMAP server 
error is a general error which just tells MailMate to inform the user 
(this is the meaning of the ALERT status). MailMate does not know what 
the actual problem is.
