Now we're getting somewhere.

Troubleshooting method #26 : process of elimination...
Does the problem occur for IMAP access that does *not* include squirrelmail?
(you said "mainly through squirrelmail" - we need to know *specifically* -
we're looking for a computer problem here, not a paint color... :-)

Also, the read and delete operations in IMAP are different (I think) when
passed to the OS. Are you *sure* both scenarios cause the problem?

Likewise, can you consistently reproduce the problem (relating to the
above)? If so, how?

That's well and fine that you've narrowed it down to one of those two. But,
based on historical data, the problem is *neither* of those two. FC2 is
quite stable, and from what I can recall, was a Courier development
platform for several months.

Are you doing "stock" FC2 installs? Have you used rpm "--force"? As we've
mentioned, something is seriously borked with these servers, and only
something *unusual* would get them to this point.
