I'm afraid that's not how it currently works. The best you can do is to 
set them to “Manual”. This might be fine if you only access these 
mailboxes from MailMate. Server->Client synchronization is only relevant 
if you use other IMAP clients to move messages or you have server side 
filtering. (Client->Server synchronization is always enabled.)

The addressbook (Contacts) is used for email address completion in the 
Composer window, but MailMate also looks for addresses in your sent 
messages mailbox.

You can find context-sensitive menu items in the headers view for the 
address book and there is also an Address Lookup button in the Composer 
window.
