This is a somewhat embarrassing bug. You have 2 options. You can fetch a 
test release of MailMate by holding down ⌥ when clicking “Check 
Now” in the Software Update preferences pane or you can wait a day or 
two and it should start working again by itself (the bug only affects a 
few days close to the shift to/from daylight savings time). Yeah, it's a 
pretty weird bug. For those interested, it's essentially caused by me 
wrongly using an API with a time epoch starting in 2001 to interpret a 
time based on an epoch starting in 1970...
