[MlMt] MailMate on one machine not syncing

[Steven M. Bellovin]

On my desktop (an iMac running Mojave and up-to-date MailMate 2.0), it 
often doesn't seem to wake up and sync. The machine is not sleeping; not 
only have I verified that in Settings, I've used another machine to 
monitor packets coming out from it. (What I see, of course, are 
primarily broadcasts.) This is quite annoying because it's also my 
SpamSieve machine. It's not filtering my inbox, except for a few times a 
day, nor is it looking at the remote good and bad mailboxes. It was 
never great at sync, but it's gotten much worse. I don't know if it's 
the Mojave update or the fact that my primary mail server was down for a 
few weeks until I could bring up a Linux box to replace my superannuated 
Mac Mini. But that happened more than a week ago and the new mail server 
is working fine.

Any thoughts? (I have some of the mailboxes with the synchronization 
schedule set to "connected"; it hasn't helped.)
