Mmm.. the fact I'm reporting is different: you noticed that changes
don't appear immediately when using multiple clients because of local
caching.

Here it happens that mail isn't actually written to an imap folder (sent mail).

Closing all instances and opening a new one doesn't get the lost mail back.

When it happens with thunderbird, the user gets an error stating that
the mail can't be saved.
With other mail clients nothing is said and the mail is just lost.
