Avi,

I experienced something very similar. I was reading and deleting emails from my 
Gmail inbox in MailMate but the messages remained in the Inbox, marked as read, 
when viewed in the Gmail web app. What I hadn't noticed was that my Gmail Trash 
mailbox was offline (just that one mailbox)! After Synchronizing the Trash, my 
mailboxes started operating as expected again.

I hope the solution to your issue is as easy.
