Whether using Windows Mail or Outlook 2007, and irrespective of the email
hosting provider (have tried two), I have found that with an IMAP Inbox,
synchronization is periodically entirely lost. In WM, the Inbox email
headers get reloaded from scratch; in Outlook the emails display the header
icon. The consequence is that every email in the Inbox has to be re-synched
- which can take hours. The workaround I've tried to adopt is moving all
emails older than 2 weeks to a subfolder - which always remains synched -
unlike the Inbox. Having done this a couple of times, I've found on both
occasions that emails get lost during the move, presumably because I've
initiated the move of emails from the client, and the synch process has
somehow been interrupted. Is it unwise to move emails to IMAP subfolders,
and is the loss of Inbox synchronization "normal"?? Thanks ...
