Subject: IMAP difficulties

Since upgrading to the new IMAP released recently, our users have been 
unable to delete messages in their inbox.  They are using a variety of 
clients, including Netscape Communicator 4.02 and PC-Pine 3.96.

The environment:

Pine 3.91 on an Ultrix box.  Everything worked properly with the IMAP 4.1 
beta release that was out before Pine 4.0.

The symptoms:

     I'm still collecting data.  The exact results are dependent upon the 
exact client configuration.  If Netscape is set to move deleted messages 
to the Trash folder, they are moved, but not expunged from the inbox (or 
marked deleted at the next login).  The Mac Netscape client reports

IMAP server responded
17 NO EXPUNGE failed
checkpoint file failure
permission denied

Anyone seen anything like this?

And the IMAP marker file appears as message number 1 in the Trash folder, 
not the inbox, or does not appear at all (varies for different users).
