How about the (old? hidden?) preference to limit the number of messages 
to download per mailbox?

I don’t recall the `defaults write` incantation I used to set this 
years ago, but I have a Gmail account with 10+ years of high-volume 
mailing list archives and MailMate just picks up the latest thousand 
messages in each folder.

This is fine for monitoring recent traffic (kind of like tailing a log 
file) and keeps local space requirements manageable. For anything older, 
I can always resort to the web interface.

Regards,

Roger
