Thanks John for looking into this.

I don't know how to help you reproduce without disclosing too much personal 
data. I include a screenshot of such scrambled messages that I moved from my 
gmail imap inbox to a local folder. I tried to compact and it didn't solve the 
issue. I have migrated to ubuntu 8.10 since my first post. I still have the 
issue, but it seems to be less often. The behaviour very much looks like a race 
condition somewhere.
Some of the operations that might be racing when the problem occurs :
* delete (mark as delete and delete on the IMAP server only when sync), the 
move to local folder (which also marks as delete)
* look for new messages on multiple gmail imap accounts
* send messages via gmail imap accounts (and copy outgoing message to gmail 
imap folders)
* html rendering (I find this very slow, but I don't know if it is normal)
I also have mail.server.default.mime_parts_on_demand set to false and
mail.server.server[2;3;4].offline_download set to true
I have also tried "compact" many time on my imap folders, which I have no idea 
if it actually compacts the local copy or just messes all up. I have also made 
everything available offline, which makes some huge local copies (a few Gigas).
