Default IMAP messages mysteriously disappear when marking one as read inUnread folder

Hi there

I am using Outlook 2007 with imap email (one account) on a windows xp
machine. I have a really strange problem which happens intermittently
and which goes like this:

I have an 'Unread' folder for my IMAP inbox. If I select an unread
message, right-click and select 'Mark as Read' most of the unread
messages disappear from the folder, or sometimes almost all of them -
last time the only message left in the folder was the unread one.
Then, if I return to my regular Inbox many of the messages have
disappeared, especially the most recent ones. I cannot get them back
other than by crashing out of Outlook (which generally hangs if I
select the Inbox too many times) and starting it up again. Sometimes
when it starts up again the inbox is still half empty, but it will
actually fill up before my very eyes.

It must be something to do with synchronising the folders on the IMAP
server going wrong because of course the emails are still there on the
server, just not there in Outlook.

Has anyone else had this problem? I had no trouble with Outlook 2000.

Thanks!
