Hi Sam,
Thanks a lot for doing the test, this is really appreciated and
give me a better cue that something shouldn't be right with my setup!
I was thinking that maybe the problem was with Gmail since my 3 emails
who are really used are from Gmail, the 2 others are from my web hosting
provider and only have 109 messages in one and 21 in the other, but now
that you said that you have 2 Gmails addresses, then there must be
something else.
So, do you mind giving me some insight on how your Gmail accounts are
configured in MailMate? Myself, I followed the information that we can
find in MailMate manual
[here](https://manual.mailmate-app.com/account_setup). So my `Important`
+ `Starred` mailboxes are unchecked (not subscribed), but I kept checked
my `All Mail` mailbox (subscribed). Is it what you have or you also
unchecked the `All Mail` mailbox ?
Now I think I'll put my email accounts offline and activate one for a
while and do this procedure with each account and see if one is the
problem or if it's MailMate in general.
One question for anyone reading, I don't think this is the case since
from my understanding this should simply scan the local copy of the
emails, but does the more that we have smart mailboxes in MailMate the
more it needs to fetch emails online?
Thanks again Sam and everyone!

Just a follow up - having run MailMate for about 18 hours with
Activity Monitor open, I’m showing 1 MB sent and 20 MB received.
Not a huge email day for me, but that’s like three orders of
magnitude less than what you’re seeing. I think there’s something
screwy going on with your setup.
Maybe some brain-dead IMAP servers force MailMate to be more
profligate with bandwidth. What servers are you connecting to? I have
two Fastmail accounts, two GMail accounts, and one private server
running Dovecot.
Hope this helps and that you find a fix.

Hi Bill,
Actually, if you open Activity Monitor, you will see it
starts at zero and then augment and if you restart it it restarts.
With that, I'm watching it during the day and see that the download
count raise little by little. For example, I restarted Activity
Monitor this morning (a little before I sent my last email) and
without restarting MailMate and now I see 522 ko uploads / 325,4 mo
uploads [screenshot](https://d.pr/i/6iuelW)
So, yes at first I thought this could have been a total since the
process started, but I see while looking at it that it rises and
restart on restart (or pane change) of Activity Monitor, so I'm quite
sure this is accumulated between each time I restart it.
Thanks for your inputs, I'll try to see if I can find another place
where I could see the total since the process started to see the
difference.
Best,

To give you more inputs, yesterday MailMate downloaded for 2.1gb of
data.
You can see a screenshot taken at the end of the day before I put
my laptop to sleep [here](https://d.pr/i/XVsY6a)
I believe those network values are not per day, but for the lifetime
of the process. I haven't found (in a brief search) any explicit
documentation of it being anything else. Sleep (even hibernation)
does not reset the counter.
