What does that mean ?


It seems to me that's a GMail thing, at least mostly. See 
https://support.google.com/a/answer/1071518?hl=en


It's possible that other providers may adopt Google's undocumented 
divergences from standard IMAP and be recognized by MM as 'throttled' 
but that would be unfortunate. Benny's response seems to imply that it's 
more generic but I've seen this exactly twice, both with users who were 
annoying Google by actually using their GMail accounts.



and how can I make it non-throttled ? :)


Get a real IMAP provider?

GMail is worth (at most) what you pay for it.

p.s. is there a way to move the sources above the mailbox so I can 
actually see the source is not

in a good state without scrolling ?


Well, there's the show/hide widget for he mailboxes section...

Anyway, seems to be an issue between Google and me, not mailmate

I'm afraid I suspect MailMate is to blame since I've had some similar 
reports in the most recent months. The “throttled” state is quite 
new. This was mainly introduced to improve the behavior of MailMate 
during the initial synchronization of large account(s). When MailMate is 
in this state then it stops synchronizing with the exception of the 
INBOX. When the account is no longer throttled then MailMate resumes 
synchronization (which can quickly lead to the throttled state again, 
but there's not much I can do about that).


So, I fear that you get into the throttled state because MailMate has 
been busy looping with the server. It could be related to the issue very 
recently reported by 
[Bill](https://freron.lighthouseapp.com/projects/58672/tickets/1491-the-definition-of-insanity#ticket-1491-2), 
but I'm not sure about that. I suspect there is a separate issue only 
related to Gmail (because of the handling of IMAP keywords and Gmail 
labels).


I'm not really interested in when MailMate gets into the throttled state 
since that's just a symptom. I'm more interested in suspicious 
persistent spinners for specific mailboxes. In that case, use “Help 
▸ Send Server Logs” and I'll look for any issues.

The throttling probably comes from Google's side. I use an SEO rank 
checker called Advanced Web Ranking, which crawls Google, submitting 
searches for terms you input and checking to see if your website is 
ranking for those terms. The AWR developers limit the requests and 
randomize their frequency, but nevertheless Google will sometimes 
detect the crawling and throttle them, or cut your IP address off 
altogether. I assume that they do this with e-mail accesses from IMAP 
clients also. In the case of AWR, the software reports back to the 
developers and they update the intervals in order to outsmart Google, 
but with MailMate you'd just have to manually reset the frequency. You 
might be exacerbating the problem if you are manually and obsessively 
choosing Synchronize in MailMate or if you have another e-mail client 
simultaneously synchronizing.
