Hi Timo

The file dovecot-shared does exist in the Maildir directory ~/Maildir/. 
I read that this file also has to exist in each folder under Maildir so 
I created them (as the folders where created outside of dovecot. I 
suspect that I have gone a little too far though. Here is the results of 
a "find" command

plans/Maildir/. 60503/dovecot-shared
plans/Maildir/. 60503/tmp/dovecot-shared
plans/Maildir/. 60503/new/dovecot-shared
plans/Maildir/.Lost Plans.  4938/cur/dovecot-shared
plans/Maildir/.Lost Plans.  4938/dovecot-shared
plans/Maildir/.Lost Plans.  4938/tmp/dovecot-shared
plans/Maildir/.Lost Plans.  4938/new/dovecot-shared
plans/Maildir/.  7849/dovecot-shared
plans/Maildir/.  7849/tmp/dovecot-shared
plans/Maildir/.Junk/cur/dovecot-shared
plans/Maildir/.Junk/dovecot-shared

plans/Maildir/.Junk/new/dovecot-shared
plans/Maildir/. 58532.2008/cur/dovecot-shared
plans/Maildir/. 58532.2008/dovecot-shared
plans/Maildir/. 10075/dovecot-shared
plans/Maildir/. 10075/tmp/dovecot-shared
plans/Maildir/.  4743/dovecot-shared
plans/Maildir/.  4743/tmp/dovecot-shared
plans/Maildir/. 19128/cur/dovecot-shared
plans/Maildir/. 19128/dovecot-shared
plans/Maildir/. 19128/tmp/dovecot-shared
plans/Maildir/. 19128/new/dovecot-shared
plans/Maildir/. 52474/cur/dovecot-shared
plans/Maildir/. 52474/dovecot-shared
plans/Maildir/. 52474/tmp/dovecot-shared
plans/Maildir/. 52474/new/dovecot-shared
plans/Maildir/.  4260/dovecot-shared
plans/Maildir/.  4260/tmp/dovecot-shared

Should I remove the dovecot-shared files from all the cur and tmp and new?
