  Sorry, MailMate is currently a fully offline email client for IMAP. The only way to limit what is downloaded is to unsubscribe mailboxes (or use a very experimental primitive hidden preference to make MailMate ignore old messages).

  I might implement more flexibility with respect to the offline behavior, but it is unlikely to ever be close to a “classic” online IMAP client. For example, it is not very likely that I'll support IMAP SEARCH.

  I can guess this is not what you expected, but this is how MailMate is designed. (If you have bought a license key then you can, of course, get a refund.)

  In any case, thanks for trying out MailMate.

  Thanks for replying. My email account uses 15 GB, so using a fully offline client is not for me. I didn't realize MailMate was offline only. Thanks anyway!

  Very understandable. Just to emphasize: It is possible to synchronize a subset of your mailboxes (using “Edit Subscriptions...”) in case there is a subset which is sufficient for daily use. The rest can then be searched using webmail or an online IMAP client. Then the offline behavior might even be a good thing.
