Yes it is "mbx"

Could the tight permissions on his home directory be an issue?

Are you certain that the mailbox is mbx format, as opposed to traditional UNIX (a.k.a. "mbox") format?

If the mailbox is truly mbx format, then there is no reason at the server side why Thunderbird should be behaving this way.

One of our users has acquired a blackberry. He simultaneously runs it while his desktop Thunderbird is open, against an mbx INBOX. The result is that that Thunderbird starts a new imap daemon, leaving the current one running every time the blackberry logs in and out.

How do we fix this?

Here is some of our sendmail log, 170.140.150.51 (sunny) is the workstation. Imapsd is 2006J, Thunderbird is 2.0.0.6.
