Sorry I couldn't answer yout letters earlier. I had to repair my mailbox. I also had to involve and help the system administrators to go through all the IMAP mailboxes and filter out all the messages with "suspect" headers.
Looks better now, thanks. I don't know much about the IMAP intrinsics, but here is the story of what happend (comming from an uninitiated user ;-). Looks like all boxes get an extra message inserted. It looks something like this: ,----- | From MAILER-DAEMON Wed Aug 30 09:54:25 2000 | Delivery-Date: Thu May 11 21:51:47 2000 | Date: Thu, 11 May 2000 21:51:47 +0200 (MET DST) | From: Mail System Internal Data <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | Subject: DON'T DELETE THIS MESSAGE -- FOLDER INTERNAL DATA | X-IMAP: 0928135936 0000033614 | Status: RO | X-Status: | X-Keywords: | X-UID: 2 | | This text is part of the internal format of your mail folder, and is not | a real message. It is created automatically by the mail system software. | If deleted, important folder data will be lost, and it will be re-created | with the data reset to initial values. `----- I don't know if it's the IMAP daemon or the pine client who is responsible for this. One (or several) of Juhapekka message header entries, probably this: ,----- | X-Keywords: =?iso-8859-1?Q?kettutyt=F6t=2C_Sanna_Sillanp=E4=E4=2C_IKL=2C_Jammu_Silta?= | =?iso-8859-1?Q?vuori=2C_ryss=E4=2C_somali=2C_lesbo=2C_homo=2C_lesbian=2C?= | =?iso-8859-1?Q?_anarchism=2C_nazi=2C_communism=2C_CIA=2C_bomb=2C_nuclear?= | =?iso-8859-1?Q?=2C_Semtex=2C_satan=2C_traitor=2C_pedophile?= `----- caused the daemon (or the client) screw up the "magic". I ended up with a "magic" message looking like this: ,----- | From MAILER-DAEMON Wed Aug 30 16:36:48 2000 | Date: 30 Aug 2000 16:36:48 +0200 | From: Mail System Internal Data <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | Subject: DON'T DELETE THIS MESSAGE -- FOLDER INTERNAL DATA | Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | X-IMAP: 0967646162 0000000339 =?iso-8859-1?Q?kettutyt=F6t=2C_Sanna_Sillanp=E4=E4=2C_IKL=2C_Jammu_Silta?= | Status: RO | | This text is part of the internal format of your mail folder, and is not | a real message.

Hope this helps to find the problem. There's definitely a BUG lurking somewhere.
