it's a TB problem and happens with dbmail-imapd too from time to time

in fact similar things are happening for sure with Apple Mail and
i would say in the one or another form it affects all clients
with local caches which had to deal with connection troubles, program
crashes or power outages at the wrong moment and my expierience shows
that folders/accounts with a desktop MUA, 2 smartphones and a tablet
are more likely affected

"repair folder" rebuilds the .msf file

once per year i stop TB and remove all .msf files from my profile
interesting what like unfinished drafts and such things sometime appear :-)
