Hi Timo,

I realized after I posted that this user is still on courier-imap (this 
system is in the process of being migrated).

So I guess courier uses the /tmp folder when moving messages... I 
remember this happened on another system I was using once - and that was 
using courier too...

Guess I gotta get the rest of those users migrated asap...
