No errors - they display fine and the "O" mark changes into the "E" mark again
when the messages are read.
.. so I guess it's not a problem with the overview cache, as the messages
haven't been deleted on the IMAP server.
Any other ideas? Perhaps I should just switch back to expiring when I quit the
summary buffer and see if that fixes things. Does "deferred expiry" via the
demon work properly for other people using nnimap?
