Which one are you running? I'm half-thinking about switching
from UW to Cyrus, but I'm not sure how well it works on a
non-sealed-server configuration.
BTW, don't use the imap-4.5 package shipped with RH6.x. Find
(or compile) 4.7. It's _much_ faster.

I haven't seen any mailbox corruption, but plenty of hangs when
Outlook starts up.
