Thanks Sherif. Hopefully, this makes it into the documentation one of
these days.
In case some might have missed it, but Benny made it possible for anyone
to contribute
to the manual: https://github.com/mailmate/mailmate_manual :)

The column "unread" in the list view shows a circle if the message is
unread or is empty. I see those circles in at least 3 colors: blue,
red, gray. However, I can't seem to find their explanation in the
manual.
Hi Robert,
The blue and grey are simple to explain:
* Blue: indicates a single unread message.
* Grey: You should only see grey next to a thread, not a single
message. Grey means that the thread has a mix of unread and read
messages. A thread that contains messages that are all unread should
have blue next to it, and a thread of all read messages should have
neither blue nor grey next to it.
The red one requires a more detailed explanation, and I will quote
Bill Cole from this previous message on the list:

It means that you use another client in addition to MailMate with
that source account and that the other client handles message
deletion in a classical IMAP mode. This means that messages get
marked with the "\Deleted" flag when the user deletes them, but do
not REALLY get deleted until the mailbox or (if the server &
client support the UIDPLUS extension) the individual message is
purged. Some servers auto-purge mailboxes or individual \Deleted
messages based on various criteria and some clients do as well,
although some client+server combinations will never purge anything
unless the user explicitly commands it.
So: a red dot in the "Read" column means that something other than
MailMate marked the message for deletion but has not yet told the
server to purge it.
The mechanics of handling message deletion and presentation of
recoverable "deleted" messages vary broadly between IMAP clients.
MailMate uses a very conservative approach of not purging messages it
did not flag \Deleted, although I don't know how it manages that on
servers without UIDPLUS support (which was a requirement for early
versions of MailMate.)
