Bug Description
Kosowsky reports (viewmail-info, 2013-08-05):
I keep getting the above message when I save my Imap folder.
I read in an old posting that one solution is to:
- Run: vm-prune-
- Remove the imap-cache folder and then let VM regenerate it
Is this still the best way to do this?
Or is there something/
Is there any meaningful risk that this will "mess" things up if I follow the
above two steps?
------------
When I run this I get:
(inbox label stale): No messages.
Despite the fact that 'saving' gives me:
492 stale deleted messages are ignored
Again, I don't even know what the stale messages are so I can't tell
if they are redundant or not.

The message "492 stale deleted messages are ignored" is confusing. They are not necessarily marked as "stale", just the UID's were fond to be invalid, or perhaps the UID's were nil. Moreover, the messages have now been expunged. So, the present tense is misleading.
V C eval <RET> (null (vm-imap-uid-of vm-virtual-
should be able to show the messages with null UID's. However vm-vs-eval is not part of standard VM at present; it is in vm-avirtual package.
