Robin,

I forgot to warn you to be sure to compact the mailboxes before reading
them or you might come across messages that had been previously sent to the
trash but weren't actually removed from the mailbox file.

You can compact a mailbox manually by command  clicking on the mailbox size
display. This actually rewrites the mailbox file leaving out removed
messages.

Option command clicking on a mailbox size display will compact all the
mailboxes. This may take a while if you don't compact the mailboxes
regularly. It can also catch other problems such as mailbox.toc files with
no corresponding mailbox file.
