What gets me is that I can't understand what is wrong (if anything)

mailutil to create a consistent mix folder.
I don't understand what you mean by intermediate files? Whatever that
means I don't know but I can say that in the past, with earlier versions
of uw-imap, when I had a bizarre problem with mix files that could not
be resolved by the use of mixrbld and/or mixdfix as appropriate I would
use mailutil to convert my mix folder back to a mbox format folder. I
would then convert, using mixcvt, this mbox version of my folder back to
a mix format folder. This worked for me in cases where mixrbld couldn't
fix my problem. Again, these things seemed to happen with earlier
version of uw-imap and of course, you mileage may vary. One other
advantage of going through the procedure will be to create a mix folder
broken into mix segments which will help with backups tremendously or at
least I remember something to that effect.
