I second the GMAIL experience. I have about 15,000+ messages in the INBOX. TB persistently downloaded 3 messages, possibly with large attachments over and over til I hit the GMAIL daily limits, and drew 2GB+ of usage off my mobile hotspot. Since I was only watching activity monitor afterwards, I dont know what messages it was downloading. Compacting the mailbox did not help. Repairing the mailbox seemed to have done the trick, although I am not certain if that was the fix, or new messages flowing into the mailbox was the real fix. I have several other mailboxes that do not appear to exhibit this problem (including another GMAIL one that appears to work ok, at least according to activity monitor).
