Thanks Mike. You know how much I hate it when things start working by  
themselves with no change????? Lots.

I tried today in Outlook with an IMAP connection to my mailbox.  
Deleted some emails. When my iOS devices next connected, the mailbox  
changes (deletions) were correctly sent through. So that is with both  
Apple Mail and MS Outlook 2010 that deletions in other MUAs are  
correctly sync'ed through AS.

Then tried in Imp again. And it updated. :-O

Man I hate that.

I haven't changed ANYTHING.

Anyway, apologies for the noise, I'll monitor and see if it reoccurs.

Simon.
