Count your blessings! I did some Googling this afternoon and a lot of people 
are reporting the same problems I have.

I think some of the problems I’m having are because UofL uses an Exchange 
server to handle email. There are many people saying that Mail doesn't sync 
properly with Exchange servers. (And Gmail.) I haven't seen any problems with 
iCloud or more or less standard IMAP servers.

I also think Mail gets confused with large mailboxes containing thousands of 
messages. I’m working on solving this problem by archiving really old mail.

Here's an article listing alternatives. (But, I think it was poorly researched 
because several of the programs named are, at best, moribund.)

There'a also a pretty major update to Mail that's being tested along with the 
imminent OS X update. Maybe I'll keep struggling until it comes along.
