I looked into this and I cannot find the problem. MailMate uploads the 
new version of the message and then deletes the old one. Gmail appears 
to accept this and does not appear to think of it as a duplicate. I 
thought that setting the Gmail IMAP settings as follows would solve it, 
but this appears to have no effect:

For some reason, the old message (with the attachment) is stored in 
“[Gmail]/All Mail”. The reason it appears in Gmail to still be in 
the original mailbox is because Gmail is “smart” when it finds 
messages with belong to the same conversation even if those messages are 
not in the same mailbox. This is also why it does not appear to exist in 
MailMate. If you subscribe to the “[Gmail]/All Mail” folder then 
it'll actually turn up here (eventually).

I'm not really sure what, if anything, I can do about this, but you can 
certainly add it to my long list of gripes with Gmail.
