You can generate logs for me as follows:

* Open the Activity Viewer (⌥⌘0).
* Relaunch MailMate.
* After you have seen some activity for SMTP in the Activity Viewer, use 
“Help ▸ Send Server Logs”.

I'm not sure why MailMate does not report an error, but maybe the logs 
can help. It seems like MailMate might be in some kind of retry-loop.

I would prefer if you also update to the latest test release: Hold down 
⌥ when clicking “Check Now” in the Software Update preferences 
pane.

The `%40` is just the URL encoding of `@`. It should not be a problem.
