But it works for you except for sent emails? That is you are now 
subscribing to “[Gmail]/All Mail” and using labels, but you don't 
have duplicate messages in general?

No, it's not.

Despite MailMate having a reputation of not being compatible with Gmail, 
I would claim it works quite well for most users — at least for small 
accounts (< 50K messages). I've certainly done many things to work 
around the various quirks and I'll probably continue to do so.

Well, if you use the mapping to Gmail labels then there should not be 
any duplicates.

Where are the duplicates located? (Try enabling the “Source Mailbox” 
column in the mailbox outline to get this information.)

If you do not use the Gmail labels from other devices then you can 
actually use tags in MailMate without creating labels at Google. (Gimap 
does support IMAP keywords.)
