Did you right click on "Mailbox (MH)" folder and "rebuild folder tree" ?

I know that isnt long enough to wrap though, sorry.

I use claws and get the CVS version compiled regularly... obviously sylpheed-claws isnt perfect, but for every "darn" I get one "cool", know what I mean? :)
You could try posting to sylpheed-claws-users@sourceforge.lists.com with your issues too.
