Same here - Eudora on MacOS 10.4, and Mozilla on NetBSD 3. It is not 
strictly repeatable, but happens frequently.

Yes... I'm seeing this with the Apple mail client on Tiger.   Our server 
is alpha 5/maildir/solaris 9/75 users.  The apple user with the problem 
typically has more that one client open.  He tends to leave his home PC 
connected when he comes in to work.  He was able to resolve the last 
occurrence by closing all clients and resynching his mailboxes.  We've 
also seen this problem on Solaris 9 running Mozilla 1.7.2 and Windows XP 
running outlook and evolution.  These other clients have not seen a 
problem in over a month.  The Apple user has problem every week.

One interesting observation on this problem is that it will go away by 
itself given enough time.  It seems that after a few hours to a full day 
it will go away.
