Hi Michael. Try this:
"If the IMAP server detects an external change to the mailbox
the list of message UIDs becomes invalid. With some clients simply
reopening the IMAP folders will fix the problem, with others,
deleting the .uidvalidity file will solve the problem." - Paul Nesbit
This file is in your home or mail directory.
