I think it is related to locking, I have been moving mail around with one
client and doing normal operations with another.

I tried to move 2700 messages from a folder on one account to another, I
think the problems started when I opened the same folder with another
client.

This occurs once in the maillog

May 31 02:20:39 snigger imap(list): Timeout while waiting for release of exclusive fcntl() lock for index file /home/list/Mail/.INBOX/.imap.index
May 31 02:26:07 snigger imap-login: Login: bob [127.0.0.1] May 31 02:38:13 snigger imap(bob): Corrupted index file /home/bob/Mail/.Test/.imap.index: Wrong messages_count in header (1247 != 1248)

What happens when the lock times out? Does it carry on regardless or die?

sylpheed says:

** WARNING **: Socket IO timeout
** WARNING **: [03:07:13] Read from socket fd14 failed: Broken pipe
** WARNING **: [03:07:13] error while imap command: STORE 1562:1562 +FLAGS (\Deleted)
** WARNING **: [03:07:13] can't set deleted flags: 1562

and so on many many times

Now I am playing with a test account I can move mail around without
interference to see what happens.
