Not sure what happened... OK, maybe it had something to do with trying out a new iPhone device...
Came back to my Mac after sleeping it a couple days, and Mail for my primary iCloud account came up almost blank. About a dozen messages from more than a decade ago. Nothing else.
Huh, I thought, that's funny. Unchecked it in iCloud and rechecked it, and now it's downloading "everything" again. Only I don't have hours to wait for all that mail to come through, so I fully expect it to get out of sync and messed up again. Not sure what could have happened to cause this beyond registering a temporary new iOS devices with my iCloud account.
Doesn't seem like it should have impacted my longest registered device - it certainly didn't affect my other iOS device in any way.
Stuff like this, which should "just work", puts me in agony because I do want to move off Apple's platform but view the alternatives as just as bad.
