I don't know why you are not seeing all the tags (we can debug that off 
list if you like), but here are two important points about tags (IMAP 
keywords):

* The “Submailboxes” feature does not work well with multi-value 
headers (tags, to, cc). Currently, a message can only be in one 
submailbox. In other words, it'll only work well if you use at most 1 
tag per message.
* Exchange IMAP is one of few IMAP servers which does not support custom 
IMAP keywords. This does not mean that you cannot use tags in MailMate, 
but they won't be synchronized to the server. Unfortunately, this is not 
currently “communicated” in the GUI (and I'm not sure how to do that 
either).
