I saw something like this a few years ago with my iMac. It had to do 
with the "app nap" feature, but that's gone, and MailMate worked for me 
properly after that. But there was a work-around you can try for a few 
folders: right-click on the folder and select "Synchronization 
Type|Connected". There's a limit, though, to how many folders you can 
set like that. (Caveat: this was my experience from several years ago, 
many versions of MacOS and MailMate in the past. I have no idea if this 
will still help, but if it does, it might be a clue to the underlying 
problem.)
