Hello, I have an unusual problem.
This morning, Mail.app displayed (in the sidebar) that there were 6 unread messages. Clicking on the inbox, only one of those messages showed in the message list. I tried to reply to it, but it wouldn't send through the SMTP server.
That being the case, I decided to rebuild the inbox, as I have to do occasionally. After it completed, none of the messages, including the one I tried replying to, displayed. So I restarted the application.
Afterward, the message had sent (it disappeared from the outbox) but was not in the sent box. I went to Gmail (POP through Gmail) and indeed all the messages that I could not find, including the sent one, were on the email server.
But here's something more unusual - the message I had sent had a subject line of a completely unrelated message thread. This has also happened several times.
Another thing of interest - sometimes old messages get re-sent and people wonder why I am replying to old threads. Usually, the mailbox gets corrupted and Mail.app needs to re-import everything.
I know this is probably a lot to digest, but I am having troubles finding a fix for this...help!
