I have been having a peculiar problem with Leopard Mail, and I wonder if others have seen it.

I use SpamSieve to filter out spam, and it puts spam into a designated Spam mailbox. Normally (under Tiger and even before, I think), I look over what accumulates there, move the few false positives back into Inbox, and then select all, Delete, and ⌘K to get rid of them for good.

Since moving to Leopard, though, I have the disconcerting experience that often (not always, but often) when I do ⌘K (and confirm) to get rid of the spam, what happens is that all of the messages in the spam folder get their message number reset to 0, and they don't go away: they just sit there. No matter how many times I try to kill them dead, they just keep popping back up. Quitting and re-starting Mail.app doesn't help, nor does logging out and logging back in again: all of those zombie spam messages are still there. Eventually, after a couple of days (probably involving a reboot) they go away. But why don't they just die when I kill them?

Has anyone else experienced this?

The first time I set up mail, every message I deleted would just stay in my inbox, despite my un-checking the preference to keep deleted messages in the inbox (who would want that anyway?) I deleted the Mail folders in my Library folder and started from scratch, the second time worked fine.
