I have two inboxes and a few local folders that I "archive" mail to (one inbox is POP, the other IMAP). Mail has suddenly decided to start randomly moving messages around (well, "copying" them) into incorrect inboxes.
For example, I'll delete a message (move it to the trash can in mail) and then click into another folder, and a different message that was in the trash will appear in the original folder. If I delete this again, it seems to either move somewhere else or permanently remove it
Basically, Mail's randomly moving/copying messages about without me asking it to whenever I click on a folder/mailbox. Sometimes it'll copy a message from my IMAP folder to my POP folder. If I delete it from the POP folder, it also goes from the IMAP folder (thus removing it from the IMAP server). I therefore have to manually restore the deleted message to the IMAP folder.
How can I stop this? I've tried quitting mail, force-quitting mail and rebooting and none of that worked.
I'm using OSX 10.4.9 on a 1.5GHz G4 PowerBook
The only thing I've done just before this happened was reset the PRAM (boot up holding down Cmd + Alt + P + R) to try and temporarily cure an erratic temperature sensor on my PB, until I can take it in to be repaired (spending £1500 to end up with a 1.5 year old door stop - great!
