Please, I'm not saying kill the feature entirely. I imagine people use it
or the tool wouldn't work that way by default. I just would like to be able
to turn it off as it doesn't mesh well with my own workflow.

No please. It is one of the strengths of MailMate (as many have said) to be
able to move messages between mailboxes without any restrictions. There are
more clients that can do it, including Mail.App btw, but the behaviour in
MailMate is perfect!

Explain more what issues you see with it, and maybe there is where the
issue is.

Maybe a warning if the message is being moved to another account.
