Neither I.
I reported this issue because is VERY VERY strange. The Linux installation on 
server is quite simple, there are half a dozen users and nobody puts his hands 
on the server.
What drives me mad is that I cannot reproduce the error, nor I can relat the 
error to anything.  :(

BINGO! Your evaluation of the situation is 100% exact. The annoying side of this 
situation is that the mailbox is unusable until the :2,ST directory is removed.

I am going to install 1.0.1, I hope that the things will get better.


Ciao,
