Now, if you actually open the 5th message it shows the right message

sync
and I can fix it by removing the .msf file for that mailbox but, as
you
can imagine, the prospect of getting all the users to remove their
.msf/.pst/?? cache files is daunting, to say the least.
One easy solution would be to change UIDVALIDITY (the large number in
X-IMAP: or X-IMAPbase: header) of each mailbox. Then the client will
redownload all mails.
I can't really think of why UIDs would have changed though. I think
v1.1's and v1.2's mbox handling code is pretty much the same.
