DM: I haven't used IMAP a lot, but I think this depends on whatever
settings you are using and whatever you have done that is relevant to
those settings. My understanding is that the imapcache folder would
contain the complete form of whatever emails have been downloaded. So
the basic question is whether or not all messages have been downloaded.
I think there is also a manual way to download and/or sync everything
or do it for a specific folder. I think I remember making sure to do
that before I ran a backup or if I wanted to make sure I could access
emails while I was offline. Hope that helps, ---Dustin
