I've always had that problem, but I don't know what could be done about 
it. Mail.app simply doesn't read or write anything to the IMAP server 
unless it's specifically told to do something.

I heard from someone it was working with Courier, but with my Courier 
test server it didn't work. So, apparently it was working with UW-IMAP 
before? Perhaps I'll try it too to see if it does something 
differently..
