Unless you're referring to ':LAYOUT=fs', it shouldn't be the issue. 1.0.3 
is the version I used to test the kludgy method. Before, I tested directly 
(telnet localhost 143 and LIST "" "users/%" commands). And just now I 
confirmed that you can subscribe to users/(username) through Thunderbird. 
(But it still doesn't do much, since the permissions problems remain.)
