By mailbox do you then mean an IMAP mailbox within an IMAP account or do 
you mean the IMAP account itself.

In the latter case, you might need to subscribe to “[Gmail]/All 
Mail” via “Edit Subscriptions” in the IMAP account editor. This 
does not happen by default since then MailMate has to spend additional 
time keeping it synchronized (which is tricky due to its very 
non-standard behavior).

I would certainly prefer that we find out what makes it fail.

Make sure everything appears online and synchronized under SOURCES in 
the mailbox outline (no greyed out mailbox names or persistent 
spinners).
