Yes, if both the source and destination mailbox are online and fully synchronized then any move of a message should be synchronized with the server(s) (MailMate should also not be busy synchronizing other mailboxes). A message deletion is also a move unless the user is deleting something which is already in the mailbox for deleted messages.
