Hello there, for some weeks there has occurred the oddity that after having opened an email and having moved it to another file the content switches to the content of a different email :(. Sender and subject stay still the same as in the original email. In other words: Emails after having been moved to other file show different content than in original email.

Can you help me fixing the problem? Seems to be a heavy bug!
