Yes, that looks like incorrect behaviour. The correct behaviour should be to just list all emails in their inbox (read or unread - it's the mail client's responsibility to distinguish between emails which have been downloaded and which haven't). I'm currently working on the Gossamer Mail 2.2.2 release, so once I'm done with that (in a few days), I'll work on getting this behaviour fixed.
If you want to do that, it'd be just easier to reinstall. Move your current installation to another directory, and install a new copy to where the old copy was. Then just copy over your Config/Data.pm and your templates.
Otherwise, to purge the database, just go into Setup => SQL, and recreate all your tables (overwrite them). That will purge all your users and emails from the database. The purge things from disk, you'll have to remove everything inside of data/msgs and everything in the domains in data/users.
These files are cleaned up automatically the next time they visit the compose page.
Generally, you shouldn't get any inconsistencies, but if your server crashes while Gossamer Mail is performing some operation, it could become inconsistent. For example, if it receives an email, and it writes the email to disk and just as it begins writing the associated information to the database, your machine crashes, then you may get an inconsistency (not entirely true, but you get the point). Running it shouldn't cause any undesireable results.
I don't believe anyone has written anything for Gossamer Mail, but I know there is code out there to do so for hotmail and such. This is one of the things on my wanted list for Gossamer Mail 3.x.
