OK I understand your 3 points about how it actually could happen, and 
the ideas above as to possible causes; unfortunately we are in none of 
those situations. :( It was a mailbox simply created, accessed via 
Thunderbird and Squirrelmail all of... maybe 3 times. Nothing at all 
changed between the time it was working and the time it wasn't (no other 
mailboxes were affected).

I'll keep an eye out - I created another new mailbox yesterday which 
will get the exact same treatment for an employee starting next Monday. 
If it doesn't happen again I'll just resign to calling it a random 
happenstance.
