Thanks, Thorsten.  I should have mentioned that I did to a "rebuild
folder tree" immediately before this.  In fact, this folder didn't exist
the last time I ran Sylpheed-Claws.  So this found the new folder, but
not the messages in it.  Shouldn't that have found all the
messages, old and new?

As I mentioned, re-creating the folder from Windows (rather than
Cygwin), copying the messages into it, and then running "Rebuild folder
tree" again solved the problem, but I'm wondering what the issue was in
the first place.

Thanks,
