dovecot - Apr 2008 - shared Sent and Junk folders

Hi,

For some odd reason, two of my users share the same Sent and Junk 
folders, therefore I keep getting errors about Sent folder reading 
permissions and one user reading the other user's Junk folder. What can 
I do about this odd problem?

Regards,
Tolga

Do you really think anyone can even guess what might cause something 
like this based on the information given?

How about some hints, like:

dovecot version, platform, output of dovecot -n, and maybe even - gasp - 
some log entries given when these users are experiencing the problem...

Sorry to sound harsh, but sometimes it just amazes me how people seem to 
think others will just be able to read their minds...
