You guys might want to check your webserver's access log when sqwebmail
goes nuts. I had over 10000 messages in my Inbox and whenever I would use
sqwebmail it would use very high CPU resources while parsing through my
Maildir with thousands of files. What you see as sqwebmail going nuts may
just be a user with tons of email using sqwebmail.
