Both of my primary email providers (FastMail.fm and University of
Washington) have very effective server side junk filters.  Not much junk
gets by them.

I'm not using MLM to filter junk.  I have one conventional rule that looks
for "Content-Type: GB2312", and moves the message to my junk folder.  And I
have another rule that detects attachments with certain extensions (.exe,
.scr, .pif, .vbs, .vbe, .bat, .jse) and sets a category which changes the
header display color to alert me that they might be spam or malware. Both of
these rules are holdovers from years ago, and I should probably consider
disabling them.

Not sure what you mean.  Non-junk messages go to the appropriate IMAP inbox
folder, except for messages from mailing lists, which are sent to list
folders (by MLM rules).  I have a couple of legacy POP accounts (which go to
the global INBOX folder, but they get very little mail.

One interesting thing about the vanishing/reappearing messages that came
this morning: both messages were from the same person, with apparently
identical content, and both were broadcast to a list of bcc addresses.  The
only address in the "To:" field was the sender's own address.  His address
is in my address book.  Could this cause weird behaviors?
