Hi Paul/others, I have cooked up a patch for addressing this issue. After a lot of code reading/MS KB articles, this patch should be able to address the issue of mails getting disappeared.
Paul: Will it be possible for you to run a quick test on this patch and report back? The patch can be downloaded from: http://people.freedesktop.org/~vvaradan/misc/evo/missing-mails.patch TIA, V.
