Thanks Benny for taking a break from vacation to answer :-)

It should be simple in the sense that it doesn't do much. The T modifier simply provides you with a text field for entering your tags. It'll also show you any existing tags for the currently selected message.
Ok. I must be dense. I have defined 2 tags: ToDo and ToRead. I select a message in the mailbox. It is highlighted purple. I hold the shift key and press t and... nothing happens. No text field is provided for entering tags. If I press t again (without shift), the selection changes color of the msg highlight from purple to dark gray. The same happens if I highlight another msg and type t without shift. I checked that the tags editor shortcut is capital t, though.
When the msg is highlighted gray not purple and I type another t, I get a little popup on the bottom of the page, which shows the defined tags, one being highlighted. I can move the highlighted from one tag in the popup to the other or even unselect it or select both, but no matter what I tried, I do not change the current tags settings, neither add nor remove (I have added a column that displays tags).
I tried typing the whole name of the tag, which does not seem to do anything, although once a while I get a dialog asking me to create a new tag called odo or oread (yes, the tag name I typed less the first letter).
I once managed to assign the ToDo tag to a message but I have no idea what I did differently. I must be missing something very obvious since apparently others are using tags successfully.
It would have been so much simpler if the right mouseclick on a msg included an item Toggle Tag with submenu listing all defined tags, like it does it for the Junk State. I see no problem having to go to prefs to create new tags. Similarly for colored flags: an item Assign Flag with submenu listing flag colors (plus none). That item could replace the Mark as Flagged item, which seems to always assign the red flag.
The manual mentions nothing about removing tags. Is it even possible?
Then the important part of the server response is this: S: * OK [PERMANENTFLAGS (\Answered [...] \Seen \*)] That last part, \*, tells MailMate that new IMAP keywords can be created.
I was looking in the Activity Viewer not logs. Where are the logs? I don't see Mailmate in the Console app.
