+1 for the export/import user story. From my side that would suffice:
1. export mailbox configuration on desktop
2. copy one file over to laptop
3. import mailbox configuration into laptop
- overwrite mailbox settings
- mailboxes
- Conditions
- Submailbox settings
- Rules
- ? import tags (if tags have internal IDs, they could also be
overwritten?)
- ? how to handle a mailbox that exists on the target but not in the
source?

I agree, this is probably one of the only weak points of MM. However
based on my experience with other applications, this is definitively
not a trivial issue, and it is certainly dependent on the IMAP
server.
To be clear, a solution would involve some kind of private
“message” within an IMAP folder on an IMAP server (as also seen
with other email clients). This could of course be hidden by
MailMate, but it would be visible in other email clients -- annoying
but necessary. There is no standardized way to do these things via
IMAP. This also means that IMAP server bugs are not likely to be a
major issue.
Any chance of an interim solution involving generating a tar file that
can then be imported elsewhere?
