Mostly.

In the General pane of the Preferences window, there's a "Custom Key Bindings" section with a help button that opens the relevant section in the MM Help. That gives all the detailsd, but as an example, I have the word "Mine" in that text field and a file at  ~/Library/Application\ Support/MailMate/Resources/KeyBindings/Mine.plist with this content:

{
  " " = "scrollPageDownOrNextUnreadMessage:";
  "q" = "nextUnreadThread:";
  "l" = "replyList:";
}

The relevant entry is the first one. With that alone, you can spacebar through all of the unread messages in one mailbox.
