Hi, guys.

I have 3 work accounts coming into mail.app. All three are on the same server using the exact same settings, except for login & password. However, one of these of accounts has started acting funky after the 10.5.7 update. It is apparently deleting the cahce when I close the app, so every time I open mail.app it re-downloads the entire inbox, which is several hundred messages. (The other two accounts work perfectly fine.) This causes my screen to be completely covered with growl notifications for a few minutes, which is highly annoying.

What is really weird is that the sub-folders of my inbox do not need to be downloaded again; it is just the messages in the main portion of this one inbox. I tried to delete the cache but that didn't solve the problem. I also changed the setting to "do not keep anything for offline viewing," quit, opened, and changed it back to "keep everything." That did not prove to help, either.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions on how to fix this!
