With multiple sources and multiple email clients it’s a puzzle seeing who’s in charge.

It seems reasonable to have the server take a first crack at the sorting, and then use a powerful fast client to refine that. And also handle wrangling vast mass-quantities quickly.

Do people push sorting back to the server from Mailmate?

I let my server do the sorting. It's a lot more powerful than my laptop for one thing and more importantly: I use multiple clients and MailMate won't necessarily be the first to "see" a message.

Sieve sorts my mail mostly into a mailbox for every mailing list I'm subscribed to. I use MailMate's "smart mailboxes" to bundle related lists together with submailboxes giving me access to the individual lists without having to dig through the sources. I'm subscribed to a lot of mailing lists I only read when I'm working on certain things (I'm too lazy to unsubscribe and disk space is cheap) so I have a smart mailbox for "lists I care about at the moment" which I edit when needed.
