Inbox missing emails

Problem

my Inbox as well as others, often is missing emails, the syncing Is incorrect. sometimes it catches up but then it goes back to missing a number of messages.

The sync new email, causes it to catch up for a while, then it goes back to losing messages. This has happened with me constantly across a number of versions of Ubuntu.

Context

everytime I launch the inbox oscillates the message count, sometimes all messages appear, sometimes some of them go away.

Email Provider

using IMAP to zoho.com

Setup

Mailspring 1.11.0.-6193b33c
Ubunto 23.04 Linux 6.4.8-t2-lunar
Apple Mac Powerbook Pro

installed with Ubuntu SNAP latest/stable

===
can you give me some debugging hints?

I see the following in log

interestingly, I see the same behavior with the MacOS version of Mailspring. so whatever is going on with IMAP and Zoho is in common here.

I am still seeing this exact issue with v 1.13.0-89078ce5 any ideas?

Having the same issues, and can’t have the inconsistences in a mail program so I won’t be using or recommending this application

Same issues for iCloud account mail - messages over a couple of days old disappear and I have to rebuild the cache- they come back for a while then disappear again
