Yes, that's what I meant to say. :)

Unfortunately, for header caches, "refreshing" doesn't include removing 
no longer existing messages from the cache.  It just means the header 
cache will slowly grow, even though you are trimming the mailbox 
externally.  Not the end of the world, but at a certain point the cache 
will lose some efficiency by sheer size.
