I do not use any other IMAP client. My other 
client is POP only. As far as I know, it marks 
the mails only as read on the server. MailMate 
must be moving them later to the junk mailbox - I 
am turning on Mailmate only sporadically.

After those long hangs that I reported, I keep 
getting the pizza spinning but too short each 
time for me to switch to terminal and execute the 
command. If I catch it, I send it to you.

It is not so simple to make it simple when the 
incoming stuff is complicated and not orthogonal.
