It's happenned to 3 users on my system so far (at different times/dates). What happens is that for some reason, they just stop receiving mail in the inbox. Incoming mail will just pile up in the spool directory and not be delivered. I have set mailbox sizes to unlimited (and don't get any full warnings anyway), but on occasion they account just "dies". Only way I've been able to fix (so far) is to delete the user and setup again (or delete their main box file). Any ideas? Is this a server problem or a client problem (Netscape 7.2 Imap)?

Well since nobody replied I guess nobody knows the answer to this one. FYI, it seems to be working OK for the last few days now. The way I hope I "fixed" this issue was to completely delete the Imail setup (domain w/all users) and setup again from scratch. Seems like this did it (so far).

Locking mailbox - is the main possible reason. It is impossible to corrupt text file. What's your imail version? The only thing you can corrupt is uid file (index for mailbox) linked with your pop3 clients local uid file. Some early imail versions touched by this issue.

But as you may suspect it is impossible to lock a user mailbox forever. As a rule you can determine the problem by the server logs.
