+WARNING:
+
+It is possible to lose your e-mail with a Disconnected IMAP account if you
+do not use it correctly.  The purposes of Disconnected IMAP are to minimize
+bandwidth usage, to allow the user to decide when the client communicates
+with the server, and to keep a local copy of all e-mails.
+
+When using Disconnected IMAP, all changes (such as writing new e-mails,
+deleting e-mails, and moving e-mails between folders or accounts) are only
+made on the client until the user synchronizes the client with the server
+by using the Check Mail command when there is a network connection available.
+
+These are the commands that affect client-server syncronization:
+F5 synchronizes the current folder.
+Ctrl+L (Check Mail) synchronizes all folders in all accounts.
+Refresh Local IMAP Cache discards all local changes in the current folder.
+
+If you make changes that affect more than one folder or account, you should
+usually use Ctrl+L to make sure all of your changes are committed to the
+mail server.
