Just following up with this, apparently it was an issue of
not re-synchronizing. A day or two later, I noticed that the
machine still using IMAP had emptied out its messages. It's
a bit disappointing that there's no way to retain a local
copy without manually copying the file, but then I suppose
that theoretically that's defeat one of the features of
IMAP.
