Two copies of the .customflags file get opened, and stay opened. I
execute the commands (1 select INBOX, 2 select INBOX, etc) and only the
two are opened;

# lsof|grep customflag
imap      1703     ron  mem    REG        3,5        5   5488711
/home/ron/Maildir/.customflags
1703     ron    5u   REG        3,5        5   5488711
/home/ron/Maildir/.customflags imap

Yes, absolutely.

Do you mean this?;
default_mail_env = maildir:%h/Maildir/:INDEX=MEMORY

Thanks again!
