Effectively it corrupts the messages - they appear in the local folder as 1 KB messages with no subject or sender info. They are empty messages.

Apple's Mail app has had a virtually identical bug since Catalina; Michael Tsai's article on the issue currently has 636 comments:

https://mjtsai.com/blog/2019/10/11/mail-data-loss-in-macos-1...

After witnessing the bug myself, migrated to Thunderbird with Maildir enabled[1] for long-term storage; have yet to experience the issue despite a large database (>300,000 emails) and daily IMAP import to local folders.

The original title itself fits within HN limits:

"A 17-year-old teen refutes a mathematical conjecture proposed 40 years ago"

The site's guidelines are clear[1] but increasingly ignored by some moderators:

"...please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize."
