Oh good. Thanks for pointing this out, it in fact appears to be the  
issue with the affected accounts. Why it matters which client accesses  
the account, I cannot fathom. (I did use telnet to log into various  
accounts, but no hint was given to any possible permission problem;  
imaplogin did not output *any* log information. Unhelpfully, it logs  
successful logins.)

Considering that it appears to be virtually impossible to diagnose  
this without tracing processes, I will inverstigate alternatives.  
Maybe it's time to go back to Cyrus.
