I have 94,349 emails in my gmail account, but MailMate thinks I only have 1132. How can I get MailMate to see all my mail?
The short answer is to enable “[Gmail]/All Mail” in the IMAP account settings (via “Edit Subscriptions”, but unfortunately it is more or less required that you understand how Gmail works compared to regular IMAP accounts.
Currently, the best resources for that is [the manual](http://manual.mailmate-app.com/account_setup#gmail) and a [blog post](http://blog.freron.com/2013/mavericks-gmail-apple-mail-and-mailmate/).
In short, the problem with “[Gmail]/All Mail” is that it also contains emails found in other mailboxes including the Inbox and sent messages (but not junk/trash). MailMate tries to hide this fact by hiding any messages in “[Gmail]/All Mail” which already exist in some other mailbox. I believe this works, but I'm still worried about its performance which is why it's not enabled by default.
A Gmail account with 100K messages is relatively big. Note that it could take a while to synchronize the account -- you might even run into the problem of Google throttling your connection (depending on the average message size).
(Also, Benny, if you’re reading along: I downloaded Mailmate a few weeks ago, but am only now getting around to checking it out. Is there any way to extend the demo period?)
If there was then I wouldn't state it on a public mailing list ;-) Note that MailMate currently only counts days of active use (sending messages) which appears to provide plenty of time for most trial users. In fact, I'm some times contacted by users thinking they have lost their purchased license key when in fact they never actually bought one :-)
But let me know by direct email if you need a longer trial period. Thanks for trying out MailMate. -- Benny
