Yes, they were.

OK, updated to r3807. I restarted MailMate and synchronized the account. 
Messages from other folders do still appear in [Gmail]/All Mail, 
including messages from INBOX and from my Action folder.

I tried a couple of things to trigger a change: archived a message from 
INBOX, and moved a message from All Mail to my Action folder. Nothing 
seemed to change; however, the All Mail folder has been 
updating/synchronizing (as indicated by the animated spinning graphic) 
for about an hour now, and has not completed. I quit and re-launched 
MailMate, and it went right back to synchronizing. Perhaps it is 
updating something in the database for handling duplicates?

(Although it probably does not not make any difference, I'll mention for 
completeness that I am using Google Apps with my domain name rather than 
a gmail.com address… which, if that is of any relevance, you probably 
observed already.)
