Don mentioned that he had the problem, but used uw-imap, and moving to ext2
fixed it. If there is still a problem with reiserfs, this is a bit of a pain,
as I would want to use some kind of journalling FS (I guess xfs or possibly
jfs is an option).

Anyway, I was wondering if using maildir as a format, rather than normal
mbox, would alleviate the problem. Obviously it doesn't fix the root of the
problem, but just tries something else. I'm not sure how you could easily
convert from mbox to maildir, but it may be an option.

Cheers
