IMAP does not keep information about the previous location of emails. 
*If* MailMate was responsible for moving them then it actually does 
remember it locally, but this is not easily utilized for moving them 
back (but that is something I could look into). If the previous location 
was Inbox for all of them then it doesn't matter much.

Hmm, it does give me an idea on how MailMate could make the 
“history” of moving messages available to the user, but that won't 
help you right now.

To learn more then I'll need to know that you can either reproduce the 
issue or that it happens so often that it makes sense to make debug code 
for it. Right now I don't have reports about any similar issues, but 
given the recent update of MailMate that might change soon.

I see that Bill also posted some ideas for what might have happened.
