i want to deselct them all and then only select three.  any chance?
never mind. the checkbox down at the bottom, Ignore Server Subscription
State, seems to be the trick.

ok, the ietf archive seems to sing mailmate on a 16g late 2014 mbp 13.
could someone else give it a try.

MailMate is a fully offline IMAP client which means that MailMate would try to fetch all emails of all mailboxes subscribed. This doesn't work well for huge IMAP archives which were probably only intended to be accessed using an online IMAP email client (with little or no local cache).

For anonymous access, use username="anonymous", and provide your email address as a password

If you think the issue is not related to the size of the mailbox(es) you try to subscribe then I can try it out.

I hope this helps clear up the issue.
