I've had this sort of > problem for years! Do you use the agent for you imap server? (^ in *Group* to enter the server buffer, and look out for "agent" in the nnimap lines.) The agent doesn't play too well with backends that support article movement / deletion, especially if you use it in parallel to other clients. This problem (phantom articles, duplicates and such things) also bit me with my agentized imap account whenever I've used the web interface. Since then I don't use the agent for imap, but instead use a local dovecot imap server that I sync with my imap accounts using offlineIMAP. This setup has proven to be very nice. It's very quick since all mail is local and all changes are propagated back and forth by offlineIMAP. Bye, Tassilo
