First and foremost, I am not a seasoned user of Mailmate, so pardon my
dumb question
FYI, questions like this are perfect for this forum.
I have discovered that I can see some gmail email on my Mac mini but
not on the MBP. I even do a search on the MBP to make sure my view did
not stop me from seeing the email, but I could not find a trace of
that particular email
It happened more than once, initially I could not believe it. I can
see the email on the Apple Mail on my MBP
The blog post linked below from Benny *might* be relevant to your
situation, depending on how you have configured Gmail on your two
devices. Gmail’s data model with message labels instead of folders is
annoyingly not-quite-IMAP, and their support for IMAP is somewhat
hamstrung by the mismatch. It’s possible that you won’t see certain
messages on one machine if your configurations differ.

A side issue , which may or may not be related. Emails I read on my
MBP are unread on the Mac mini, may be there is a time delay for the
imap to reflect the status, but I suspect that there is something
wrong on my setting somewhere
This last paragraph makes me think the problem is deeper. There is
typically no significant time delay when propagating message state
across multiple IMAP clients. It almost sounds like you’re talking to
two different IMAP servers, where the MBP talks to a server mirroring a
subset of the messages seen by the Mac mini.
One quick check: Are you sure both IMAP accounts are “online” in
MailMate? I have seen MailMate take an account offline after fighting
with another instance of MailMate running on a separate machine.
