MailMate is a fully offline IMAP client which means that MailMate would 
try to fetch all emails of all mailboxes subscribed. This doesn't work 
well for huge IMAP archives which were probably only intended to be 
accessed using an online IMAP email client (with little or no local 
cache).

If you think the issue is not related to the size of the mailbox(es) you 
try to subscribe then I can try it out.

I hope this helps clear up the issue.
