[MlMt] inaccurate message lists

[Rob McBroom]

I’ve had this happen a few times. I’ll delete one or more messages 
via MailMate, then read mail with another client (my phone, if it 
matters) and see that the messages are still there.

I would think MailMate just hasn’t gotten around to deleting them, but 
there could be hours or even days between the time I delete and the time 
I check mail on my phone. These messages never appear in MailMate again 
once it thinks they’re deleted, but they are still there. (I have 
access to the file system where the messages are actually stored. It’s 
not just the phone.)

I just had such a message. I restarted MailMate to see if it would 
reappear and it didn’t, but that might have caused it to finally 
remove the message because it’s no longer on the server.

Maybe there’s a delay between “mark for delete” and “purge” 
and I’m shutting down my machine in between those steps, so it never 
happens? Though it seems unlikely that my phone would show messages 
marked for deletion.

Rebuild** menu item?

Thanks.
