If you watch was it actually unpacked, you will notice that it downloads 
the messages, fails to unpack, moves to the next account, downloads those 
messages, and then unpacks the ones for the first account.

It seems to fail to unpack on the first attempt, but will do so on each 
additional attempt. So from the perspective of multiple accounts, it will 
look like either the first or last is failing to have its messages 
unpacked (depending on how you watch the action, if you watch it collect 
and unpack, it will look like the first fails, if you don't watch it and 
rather just see which accounts have mail, it will look like the last 
failed to unpack).

And to make it more confusing, sometimes, when it starts unpacking the 
ones it failed to the first try, it will pick up a few of the new ones 
that were just added, so sometimes it looks like random messages don't 
unpack.


And the issue is not unique to the .DS_Store file, rather it will happen 
with any OS X invisible file that is in the folder (any file that starts 
with a period).
