The first part is the Gmail server breaking the connection because it 
doesn't like the message uploaded. The response is really bad because it 
has no actionable information (despite the human readable string) and it 
also forces the email client to re-connect. The natural thing to do for 
the email client is just to retry. The final line above is MailMate 
telling us that it's trying to work around the issue (likely because 
I've encountered it before). This obviously doesn't work. I'm unsure if 
this is also why MailMate doesn't stop retrying. I'll have to look into 
that. It would be easier if you can locate the email and then use the 
Finder to compress it before sending it to me (via Help > Send 
Feedback). Then I can likely reproduce the issue.

The log includes this line:

	X-Opera-Status: 
0500000000000002a348ccf4800004397e08000480000439ac0000000000000005000

You might therefore be able to find the email like this:

	grep -r "X-Opera-Status: 
0500000000000002a348ccf4800004397e08000480000439ac0000000000000005000" 
~/

You might want a more limited path to search.
