Thanks. All done. Most of the problems were caused by Apple’s Mail.app 
not handling my mailboxes properly. There are many emails on my IMAP 
server which simply don’t show up in Mail.app – they’re there when 
I look at the Web interface, and they’re there when I look using 
MailMate, but Mail.app just won’t acknowledge thir existence. Weird.
