[MlMt] Imported older emails => one offending mail => continous activity

[Robert M. Münch]

@Benny: I found out that I can get a detailed log in the activity window. And it really looks like I have hit a problem. Here is the log stripped down to the core problem:

```

This sequence is repeated endlessly...

> I imported some older emails via MBXO files. So far, so good. MM handles them and uploads them to Google using the folder I specified.
>
> Of course, it takes some time until the imported emails are added, but after 12 hours, there is still some activity, and the activity viewer always shows the same cycle. See: https://screen.studio/share/H4Aj4RUu
>
> 1. What does this activity loop tell me? Is it normal?
>
> 2. How to fix/get rid of it?
>
> 3. How to avoid such a situation in the future?
>
>
> @Benny: An import indicator would help a lot by showing how many emails have been imported and whether they are still being processed. Or at least a notification: All emails imported. MM will now sync the IMAP mailbox.
