[Dovecot] Multiple Logins on same accounts from different stations

Hi, all
I've recently upgraded to 2.1.16 and found my self in deep ....

There are 4 accounts in my setup that need to be accessed simultaneously 
by 5-6 PCs on a local lan.

The thing is if a user A updates, deletes, flags mail messages in the 
imap folders the changes don't get propagated to the other
mail clients.

To state this clearly,
PC (A) thunderbird has an account SALES, Maildir etc
PC (B) thunderbird also has the SALES account.

Changes from PC (A) and vice-versa   like marks,deletes, or moves mails 
around will randomly get propagated to PC (B)
Sometimes they do sometimes they don't.
This never occured with previous version 1.2.xx

I am attaching my doveconf -a output ..
Please Help,
Thanks in advance
Harry
