Nope, I'm using Courier and Maildirs.  I get a LOT of mail, and the folder
in question can have upwards of 3000 messages.  Again, I could tweak the
timeout to stop this, but who wants to wait that long to do this?

Yep, but I know nothing at all about PHP ;).

Yes, it does.  I'll have to find it and evaluate.
