Hi Will~

1. Make 'All Mail' show in IMAP in GMail's setting
2. Update Mew by `C-uZ'
3. Go into %inbox and use `s'(update) to retrieve some messages
4. Refile one message to 'All Mail' by `o' and choosing '%[Gmail]/All Mail'
5. Press `x', you will see the following lines one by one in mini buffer:

   Communicating with the IMAP server...
   Refiling 1 message in background...
   1 message refile

6. Go into '%[Gmail]/All Mail', you will see the refiled message in it 
   with a '#' mark.

What I want is not showing the invalid messages in the '%[Gmail]/All Mail'.
And HOW can I remove the invalid messages if they exist?
