This behavior is customizable from the command-line. It is documented in 
the Hidden Preferences section of the builtin MailMate help. Select 
Help->MailMate Help, then navigate to the Hidden Preferences section 
(under Advanced/Experimental Features). Use CMD-F to search for 
“MoveStrategy” for the full explanation.

TL;DR: I used this command from a terminal window (quit MailMate first) 
to get my preferred style:

      defaults write com.freron.MailMate MmMessagesOutlineMoveStrategy 
-string “unreadOrPrevious”
