I don't use them myself, but I've attempted to work around this issue by 
optionally mapping Gmail labels to MailMate tags (IMAP keywords). Read 
more about that 
[here](http://blog.freron.com/2013/mavericks-gmail-apple-mail-and-mailmate/). 
I think in some cases it is best to relaunch MailMate after changing 
Gmail label mappings.

It's a tricky problem and I've seen some weird server behavior when 
trying to deal with it (well, mostly when dealing with “All Mail”). 
I'll get back to it eventually, but it's always a bit frustrating to 
work on workarounds only necessary because of an undocumented 
intentionally non-standard “IMAP” server :-)
