There's a mix of the following: Outlook Outlook express Thunderbird Squirrelmail (webmail)
But we tried getting the users sharing the account to use just one client (squirrelmail) and they were still reporting the problem?!
I forgot to say that they were working this way with no problems on dovecot 1.0.2 but since the migration to 1.1.3 we've had this problem.
In an effort to help the situation I changed the following settings from the original, from enabling lazy writes to disabling: mbox_dirty_syncs: no mbox_lazy_writes: no

We're experiencing a problem with a shared account, where multiple users are accessing it at the same time there seems to be a problem where the view one user sees is not the same as the other users. This includes experiences such as deleted mail reappearing, moved mail not arriving at a destination.
What client? I'd guess this is a client issue. Some are worse than others at noticing changes done by other clients.
