It explains it but it really doesn't justify it. Not that thats your job:)

The imap daemon really should not be doing things like this with the inbox
imo. By definition its for mail, data regarding mail should be kept else
where. Many many users use multiple applications which interact with this
file, its a bit arogent for pine's stuff to assume otherwise. If this is a
defined, required part of imap than perhaps imap users should use a
seperate mail spool directory and be made aware of this quirk.

Right! I been browsing the source tonight a bit trying to see if it's easy
to get rid of this behavior. No luck yet finding it. If anyone has a patch
that removes this feel free to send it my way.
