Hello. I am the original poster. As for windows updates, reinstalls, reformats, e.t.c. All windows workstations are updated regulary via windows update, so, not only randomy-chosen but ALL updates available are installed. As for reinstalling. I tried to do the following. I deleted IMAP account from MS OE and recreated it from scratch again. However, the messages i did not see still are invisible ( i see 11 of 14 messages, another workstation shows all 14). So, this, with high probability, shows that MS OE might not be the cause of problems in this case. Still, i might have a flaw in my logic in case if MS OE somehow keeps data from previous account record, but i don't think so. I don't know if itis a FAM fault either because i had the same problem when imap-courier was running without FAM.
