This is a server bug which MailMate failed to detect in the past. It 
*could* be a serious problem, but after reviewing logs I *think* it's 
safe if MailMate ignores the problem, but it's tricky to do this 
automatically without allowing serious problems to go unnoticed.

For now, it's possible to work around the issue using this hidden 
preference:

	defaults write com.freron.MailMate MmYahooMismatchWorkaroundEnabled 
-bool YES

Yes, previous versions of MailMate failed to detect the issue and simply 
ignored it. By pure chance this was also a workaround for the issue, but 
that might not be the case for IMAP servers with similar issues (for 
now, I've only seen this problem with Yahoo which is also one of the 
buggiest IMAP servers in existence).
