I haven't seen this problem, but I can take a guess at what might be
happening.  I'm guessing that you have PMMail set up to send messages
immediately instead of sending them first to the Outbox.  If a message
ends up in the Outbox because you lost your connection then unless you
have PMMail set up to automatically send any messages in after a fetch,
you will have to click on the leftmost icon or push F5 or select
Message->Send from the menu bar to send it.  Your Outbox folder turns
red because its folder settings are set up to indicate the presence of
any mail, i.e. your unsent message.  Once that message is sent and it's
empty again, it will return to its normal color.
