And to add to this, I went into Gmail settings, and discovered that the Important label wasn't being published over IMAP. I'd changed that setting ages ago for reasons I now can't remember. However, after a re-start or two, MailMate doesn't seem to be showing the "Important" label under Gmail source or [Gmail] folder.

Yes, MailMate ignores it because it leads to duplicates messages.

(And it has picked up other label changes I made in Gmail settings at the same time.) More and more curious ...

The “Important” label is a special case. Its Gmail label name should, in theory, be “[Gmail]/Important”, but it isn't. It's “\Important” instead.

So, you should define a tag named Important. It could then use `Important` as IMAP keyword as well, but the Gmail label must be `\Important`.

Brilliant! That works for new messages ...

There seems to be a problem with MailMate picking up this change. I had to select messages and use “Message ▸ Reset…” to make MailMate pick up the label (as a tag). You might want to just remove the account and re-add it if it's not a big account.

... and for any I "Message ▸ Reset ..."

Many thanks,
