Make sure the machine delivering the email, the home dirs, and the machine running courier-imap all see .maildir as the same user account. You may want to put Courier-imap into verbose or debug mode as well. I'd also look at your NFS config to see if you're doing any squashes into other UIDs. And just for the hell of it, never use mbox over NFS. The locking will kill you on a busy system. kashani
