Hi Henry, thanks for the response.  My response inline below.

Great question.  Emails in Gmail (web interface) with the label “[Gmail]/Archive” also appear in Mailmate.  Emails without the label don’t appear in Mailmate.

I believe Mailmate assigns that label.  My guess is that I archived those emails myself in the Gmail mobile app, which put them somewhere Mailmate can’t access (perhaps Gmail’s mysterious-to-me “All Mail”).

When I open it, I see the ‘Subscriptions for “[myemail]@gmail.com”’ dialogue, but the list never populates - the loading spinner doesn’t stop, even after several minutes.  The dialogue does load for this (non-Gmail) email account.  Can other’s load the subscriptions for their Gmail accounts?

This was very helpful.  My workaround for the time being will be to not archive messages outside of Mailmate.

If anyone has insight into the folder subscriptions not loading, or other solutions for this, I’d appreciate it.  I’m tech savvy but the nuance of IMAP has always been a little unwieldy for me.

ps: I first had this issues with version - 1.13.2r5673.  I’ve now upgraded to 1.14 (5908).
