The behavior of a Gmail account depends on multiple factors. How 
MailMate behaves is described 
[here](https://manual.mailmate-app.com/account_setup#gmail), but this 
does not include a description of combining MailMate with various Gmail 
(webmail) settings. You can configure what Gmail does when an IMAP email 
client expunges emails in the webmail interface. MailMate cannot see how 
Gmail is configured and therefore there's not much I can do other than 
what an IMAP email client should do: Delete (expunge) an email in the 
source account *after* it has been uploaded to the destination account. 
In some cases Gmail considers this an action to “archive” instead of 
“deleting”.

That wasn't very clear, but I hope you got the main point: Go to the 
webmail settings and re-consider your IMAP settings for the source 
account.
