I can re-index Trash in this Win version, but you probably knew
that.

However I didn't describe the problem correctly.  These messages
reappeared in the original folders, e.g. a thousand old messages
from a mailing list (the folder had a couple of hundred recent
messages, then another 1200+ showed up when I re-indexed).  In
other cases, the folders showed empty and then 10-100 old messages
appeared when I re-indexed on the weekend.

I assumed these were messages I'd "deleted" from within PMMail but
that were still in the Windows-level folders.  If I'd deleted them
from Windows and not PMMail then presumably they'd appear to be
there when they weren't.

Oh well, it must have been long ago.
