It happens separately for different folders, and doesn't seem to correspond to 
recently-deleted mail.  It has asked about my Sent folder many times (from 
which I NEVER delete anything), various mailing lists (which I clean out 
periodically, but haven't recently), pretty much anything that has mail 
filtered into it directly, I think.  I don't believe it's happened to any 
folders that don't get new entries except by me manually moving mail.

The error is also not asking about deleting mail on the server.  It's saying 
that mail has been deleted on the server, and asks if it's OK to delete 
locally.
