[MlMt] An EXISTS response decreased the number of messages. This should never happen.

[Max Rydahl Andersen]

This happened when I cancelled sanebox and told them to move my email back in place. Meaning @sanebox folder went from 1000s mail to nothing/empty and back to inbox. 

My guess and it's just a guess that this change resulted in the error message pop up.
I haven't seen it since.

This should never happen according to the protocol since any decrease of messages must be reported with so-called EXPUNGE messages. On the other hand, an EXISTS response can increase the number of messages (and this is in fact how new messages are reported via IMAP).
