Firkin--

I had a strange mail occurrence a couple of weeks ago--all the  
messages in a couple of mailboxes disappeared although the number of  
messages shown on the title bar was correct.

I know it's elementary, but I restarted and repaired permissions, and  
all has been well since.

I suppose chunking the .plist for Mail might be worth considering.
