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).
