You can also check the archive when in doubt:

As noted before I replied to the 
[ticket](https://freron.lighthouseapp.com/projects/58672/tickets/1964-resynchronization-problems#ticket-1964-2) 
you created, but I would just like to emphasize (for the list) that the 
resynchronization performed by MailMate is just MailMate bringing the 
local cache into sync with the IMAP mailbox. This will only result in an 
empty mailbox in MailMate if the mailbox was already empty on the 
server. It cannot work any other way, but MailMate does warn the user 
before doing this (when it's related to a change in the so-called 
UIDVALIDITY value which happens very rarely for most servers).

> P.S. I HATE changing hosting services. It's always hours of work.

It's unfortunately rarely a 1-click experience :-|
