If maybe he is coming from an older version of courier-imap, then those
files didn¹t exist. That was the case for me when upgrading from courier 39
to 50... Those files didn¹t exist, and such all clients who left mails on
the server after POP, had to get them all again after the switch.

Its a one time shot, as I gathered from the UPGRADING documentation, and
shouldn¹t happen again unless you delete those special new files.
