[MlMt] Invisible messages

[Jean-Pierre Gattuso]

All,

Many thanks to Bill Cole for his thoughtful input. My problem is that 
only **some** messages are not visible in MailMate while they are in the 
IMAP server and are visible in the webmail. It therefore seems that not 
all messages are synced. What can I do to have MailMate to closely 
reflect the content of the IMAP server?
