MailMate (still) does not map tags (or flags) to Finder tags if that's 
what you are asking for. MailMate does support the colored flags seen in 
Apple Mail, but it's (still) cumbersome to actually use this in 
filters/actions. This is because a colored flag is actually a set of 
IMAP keywords as illustrated by the default key bindings for setting 
flag colors:

	"F" = {
		"0" = ( "removeTag:", "\\Flagged", "removeTag:", "$MailFlagBit0", 
"removeTag:", "$MailFlagBit1", "removeTag:", "$MailFlagBit2" );
		"1" = (    "setTag:", "\\Flagged", "removeTag:", "$MailFlagBit0", 
"removeTag:", "$MailFlagBit1", "removeTag:", "$MailFlagBit2" );
		"2" = (    "setTag:", "\\Flagged",    "setTag:", "$MailFlagBit0", 
"removeTag:", "$MailFlagBit1", "removeTag:", "$MailFlagBit2" );
		"3" = (    "setTag:", "\\Flagged", "removeTag:", "$MailFlagBit0",    
"setTag:", "$MailFlagBit1", "removeTag:", "$MailFlagBit2" );
		"4" = (    "setTag:", "\\Flagged",    "setTag:", "$MailFlagBit0",    
"setTag:", "$MailFlagBit1", "removeTag:", "$MailFlagBit2" );
		"5" = (    "setTag:", "\\Flagged", "removeTag:", "$MailFlagBit0", 
"removeTag:", "$MailFlagBit1",    "setTag:", "$MailFlagBit2" );
		"6" = (    "setTag:", "\\Flagged",    "setTag:", "$MailFlagBit0", 
"removeTag:", "$MailFlagBit1",    "setTag:", "$MailFlagBit2" );
		"7" = (    "setTag:", "\\Flagged", "removeTag:", "$MailFlagBit0",    
"setTag:", "$MailFlagBit1",    "setTag:", "$MailFlagBit2" );
	};

Rules can be configured for any mailbox, both IMAP and smart mailboxes. 
In other words, they can apply to any set of messages for which you can 
create a smart mailbox. There's no inheritance involved with regard to 
rules.

Yes, I use MailMate to do inline replies myself. The `format=flowed` 
support should be excellent. If you find a bug then it'll be very high 
on my list to fix it.
