You're right, I should have included my config in the original message.
Sorry.
Here it is:

====================
When I run mbsync, I typically run it against the "O365-all" channel noted
above. If I need to only sync up the archive after making changes to the
.mbsyncstate file under Archive as described in my original message, I run
mbsync against the "O365-archive" channel only to pull down messages that
may have been lost. I explicitly specify Patters in my "O365-all" channel
because I have plenty of other maildirs both locally and on the server side
that I no longer wish to sync against.
I've had this config in place for at least a year if not longer and it has
worked for the most part. The only issue being the occasional loss of
messages locally and the need to re-sync
I'm unable to reproduce the actual instance when messages disappear
locally. I just know this happens and I notice it in my client (I use emacs
+ mu4e ) when, for example, I'm trying to search for an older email
exchange and either don't find it at all or only find a few messages from
an email thread I'm trying to locate. The messages I'm looking for are
always available via O365 web in these instances, so I know they are there
on the server side. I also see the total email count of my maildirs drop
significantly when this happens. At which point, I change the MaxPulledUid
value in the state file and re-sync to get my messages back down locally so
I can view the emails via my preferred client.
Thanks.
