Umm, not quite. If you use IMAP, Mail seems to think it is the only
MUA that ever talks to your IMAP folders.
If you delete messages out of (the middle of) an IMAP mailbox with
some other MUA, sometimes Mail.app will decide to keep it's cached
copy of the headers, including the deleted ones. If you click on one
of the deleted ones, it brings up the mail that's in that INDEX in
the IMAP mailbox, even though it doesn't match the cached headers in
Mail.
And re-syncing doesn't make it realize it has the wrong headers!
And deleting the already-deleted entry in Mail deletes whatever
proper email was in that INDEX in the IMAP mailbox.
Stupid, hateful software.
