Hi Benny, thank you for this - but I just had a thought, wondering if this could work — what if I remove the IMAP password info from the account, but leave the SMTP? Would it still function or would it just bug me to fix it all the time? ;-)

That's a bit unusual, but read on below.

I have his account set to synchronize manually, but it still seems to snag them. Is it because I occasionally click on my general 'inbox' folder?

Yes, manually just means that MailMate won't fetch emails unless you somehow interact with the mailbox (selecting it, moving emails to it, etc.).

How can I fix it such that it won't receive?

You can take the INBOX of the account specifically offline using “Mailbox ▸ Take Offline”. Or you can take the entire account offline, but then your sent emails won't be uploaded to the “Sent Messages” mailbox of the account.

But note that it can be a bit hard to see what's going on if some mailboxes are offline, e.g., if you move something from/to an offline mailbox within the account then MailMate cannot synchronize this move with the server, but it'll still look like it was moved in MailMate.
