Yes, you can create the tags “ToDo” and “Waiting” in MailMate and then make sure that they are mapped to your existing Gmail labels “_todo” and “_waiting”.

Having formed a "_todo" tag, I have gone back and used it to tag a number of the messages in the _todo folder, and I have synchronised and re-started the app. But the "_todo" folder still shows. Am I missing something?

Are the Gmail labels inside another mailbox? In that case the Gmail label provided in the Tags preferences pane must include the parent mailbox, for example, “[Gmail]/_todo”. Perhaps you can get an idea of what is going on if you open the Activity Viewer and observe the logging done when trying to enable/disable “_todo”.

And another issue: when I'm away from the Mac, I will use a variety of iOS apps to triage mail. This includes filing to the _todo folder. When I do this it doesn't seem to add the _todo tag. Is this related to the first issue?

That sounds very likely.

Is there a way to get this tagging working in iOS?

It should work if you use it as a folder in other email clients (which ironically is an advantage of the non-standard Gmail behavior since most email clients do not support IMAP keywords).
