Hi Lars,

        Unfortunately, I haven't found any solution yet; and what's
worse - didn't receive any help from debian-user; I sent 2 messages
about the problem, but a) nobody cares, or b) nobody has this problem.
        I tried to found the problem in the php3 code but I'm not
experienced with it. 
        However, I found an interesting thing trying to understand the
imapd server: I telnet'd to the imap server port 143 and tried to issue
some commands to see the results. Well, I was able to login, select
Inbox, select other mailbox file in the user directory, but when I
issued a create command, I had the following result:

--------------------------------------------------------
mario <linux1> ~$ telnet curiango.ipen.br 143

abcd create "zope" 
abcd NO CREATE failed: Can't create mailbox node /home/menezes/mbox: File exists
------------------------------------------------------

        Sorry for the long lines! I tried do not wrap to maintain the
original output.

        Look that even when I try to create a mailbox named "zope", the
imapd server try to create a "mbox" mailbox, that already exists. So I'm
lost here: I'm not sure about the syntax of the command; I just tried
to follow the RFC (it's a hard thing); some commands worked, others no. 

        Could somebody more experienced with this look at the above
lines and give me an insight if this is a bug or a mistake I've made,
please?

        Could the maintainer take a close look at a IMP and try to
reproduce this behavior or point to a solution, please?

        I would like to have some feedback about this.
