Just for correctness' and completeness' sake:
You might take a closer look at the documentation of UW Imapd, as you'll
find this to be a mailbox-format-issue. Using the default-format for uw,
which is mbox, you run into this issue, using for example mh or mbx (note
the difference to mbox) you wouldn't, but certainly lose the accessibilty
for local use on the server for various tools only operating on
mbox-files. Where this is acceptable, you can stay with uw and just
recompile with a different mailbox-format as the default.
