Yes, confirmed. Using 0.96 my inbox shows up with all my ~200 messages now.

Now, one last question (for a while):  would be possible/desirable make
Dovecot work when an user is with her disk quota completely full (hard
quota)?  The main reason I'm looking for an alternative imap server is that
neither WU-Imapd nor Courier work "properly" (from an user point of view) in
that situation (the user can not login or delete her messages to clean up
the mailbox). If Dovecot could handle this problem (creating its scratch
files in /tmp, perhaps) it'd be big plus, IMHO.

Thanks for the great support :)
