Mail shows wrong message body

OS X 10.9.4 / 3.2GHz Quad-Core / 16GB DDR3

Mail 7.3 (1878.6)

IMAP Server at InMotion Hosting


I continue to see messages in my mail folders that have the header information (From / Subject / Date) from one message in the message listings, and the From / Subject / Date of a DIFFERENT message in the message preview.


This is NOT Google. The IMAP server is from InMotion Hosting. On the server, the messages are accurate: the From / Subject / Date information is attached to the message body it represents. It is only in Mail that the information gets scrambled.


I have used the Rebuild for this mailbox, which usually corrects the problem. On occasion, I have to delete the mail account from Mail and add it back in again to force an accurate rebuild.


Why is this happening?
