So when I just move mails from one mail folder into the Trash, could 
that cause that folder to be "truncated" so that it could mess up data 
from another folder? Other than that, I don't see a "truncation" 
operation being involved at all in what I do to trigger the bug that 
mails disappear from one of my mail folders, so it's probably unrelated, 
correct?
