Avoid UWash IMAP like the plague is my suggestion.  It has locking issues
even on local disk.  (e.g. one client opens folder read-only, another client
opens read-write, it is really easy to get complete garbage on the read-only
session if the read-write client deletes a message).  I've seen this happen.

Gary
