The throttling probably comes from Google's side. I use an SEO rank 
checker called Advanced Web Ranking, which crawls Google, submitting 
searches for terms you input and checking to see if your website is 
ranking for those terms. The AWR developers limit the requests and 
randomize their frequency, but nevertheless Google will sometimes detect 
the crawling and throttle them, or cut your IP address off altogether. I 
assume that they do this with e-mail accesses from IMAP clients also. In 
the case of AWR, the software reports back to the developers and they 
update the intervals in order to outsmart Google, but with MailMate 
you'd just have to manually reset the frequency. You might be 
exacerbating the problem if you are manually and obsessively choosing 
Synchronize in MailMate or if you have another e-mail client 
simultaneously synchronizing.
