but as you have a local server on each system, they may be numbering
messages differently depending on how they synchronise with the real
IMAP server.  As a result, the counts and various data structures stored
within the newsrc.eld file may not be consistent between machines?

Just a theory.  I have no idea how isync etc. actually synchronise.
