OK. I could do this whenever I consume all the local messages to replenish the local maildir. > > Well, I had made one test. Running mbsync brought in 100 messages when > > I first ran it.

Nevertheless, in my attempts to reproduce this behavior I used a 'dummy' maildir prepared with 'mu find --format=links...' (i.e., a maildir made up of symlinks). I then ran mbsync to fetch 100 messages from that maildir and I couldn't understand the result. I did get 100 messages, but they were not the latest nor the earliest but rather scattered throughout the maildir. When fetching messages from an actual maildir (containing actual messages instead of symbolic links) I did get the latest ones as I expected. Is there a reason why symbolic links could confuse mbsync?
