Thank you so much for such a clear & detailed explanation.
What baffles me is that I migrated everything from a 2018 MacBook Pro to
an M1 13-inch MacBook Pro and have changed nothing. The set-ups are
identical. Yet while the MM/SpamSieve combo on the 2018 continues to
work perfectly (I just got it out & checked), the MM/SpamSieve combo on
the M1 doesn’t work at all. Have tried everything I can think of, yet
nothing seems to help. Any suggestions greatly appreciated. Thanks.

uninstall both MM & Spamsieve & install new versions of both.
My question is: If I completely uninstall MM, download a clean
version & reinstall it, do I lose all the IMAP mailboxes I’ve
created in MM?
The IMAP mailboxes are on the server; it will neither know nor care
that you've done anything to the client. However…
Smart mailboxes are part of your MailMate configuration. If you wipe
that out—more on that below—you'll lose them.
It strikes me as extremely likely that your problem is configuration,
not
the executables. Deleting and reinstalling the applications won't fix
that.
Wiping out your configuration files would likely do more to fix your
problem, but of course you'd have to recreate a lot. The question is
what the issue might be.
The obvious place to look is any rules—or any rules on any other
devices
you have that talk to that IMAP server. For that matter, in some
situations
there are server-side rules. Generally speaking, having more than one
computer that can touch the same messages is a recipe for trouble.
