I have a Mac - and I also run Thunderbird, Evolution and Horde/IMP.  The
last two I had issues with when I had those 'funky' namespace settings
that fixed Mail.app.

I have some of my own server work to do - but I might not even get that
far this month.  I do have a Horde/IMP beta site that I could redirect
to test that out.
