To do this, I right-click on the "correspondent" column in the viewer window (the list of all email in the current mailbox), highlight "Find Messages," and click the "correspondent" option; but I'm sure there are other ways to do it as well.

If you don't use the "Correspondents" column -- after about ten years as a MailMate user, I can't say I knew it existed -- right-clicking a name in the "From" column appears to work similarly. In fact, the options in the "Find Messages" submenu match more closely what you're trying to do, it seems to me.
