Downgrading to 2.0.6 is not a problem.

I don't have any shared mailboxes but I do use multiple imap mailers on multiple computers though. So this shouldn't be a problem if I just use one mailer from one PC, I guess. But why is it that I seem to be having this problem only with dbmail? I didn't have this problem when I was using bincimap or uw-imap .

What kind of information, do you need? email sample? debug logs?
