[Benny Kjær Nielsen]

This is an old message and possibly a resolved issue, but I'll answer in 
case anyone finds it googling :)

When `APPEND` is involved then it's because MailMate is trying to upload 
a message. In this case, a very large message since `51934584` is its 
size in bytes (~52MB). The easiest way to find it would be to select the 
IMAP mailbox and enable/sort the Size column. Alternatively, enable the 
UID column and look for messages without UID (pending to be uploaded).

When found then it can be deleted by holding down ⌥ to do “Message > 
Delete Permanently”. Or it can be moved to an account/mailbox which 
allows a message of that size to be uploaded.
