You mean with “File ▸ Import Messages” in MailMate?

There should be a “Stop” button in the import window, but maybe this 
import already finished and your problem is that MailMate is now working 
on uploading the emails to the server.

It might be too late, but first take the account offline to stop the 
uploading (using “Mailbox ▸ Take Offline”). You can even take a 
subset of mailboxes in an account offline in order to still be able to 
use the Inbox and other standard mailboxes (if you haven't imported into 
these mailboxes).

To get rid of the imported email I suggest selecting them and then hold 
down ⌥ to use “Message ▸ Delete Now”. This prevents MailMate 
from moving the emails to “Deleted Messages”.

It *might* be easier to start over with MailMate by deleting anything 
but the `.plist` files in the following folder:

	~/Library/Application Support/MailMate/

That should make MailMate forget the non-uploaded emails. The rest is 
re-fetched from the server(s).
