Type `s', or select `Mew - Manipulate folder - List' from menu.

To read "Mew Manual", type `M-x info RET d m Mew RET'.

Quoting from "Mew Manual":

| To flush a list of messages in a local folder and display them again,
| use `s'.

| If you use `s', it asks you a range.  Here are a summary of important
| ranges for Mew.
| 
| `update'
|      From "the last message in the Summary mode + 1" to "the last
|      message in the corresponding folder". That is, the gap between
|      the Summary mode and the existing folder
| `all'
|      All messages in the folder. When Summary mode in a local folder
|      becomes inconsistent, use this range to flush the list.  For a
|      remote folder, this range results in retrieval of all messages
|      again.
| `sync'
|      Deleting cache messages whose originals were removed in the
|      server side.  Valid for remote folders only.
