Watch out that you don't get fresh created files, that are owned
by Zope while zope is starting up and is still running as root. In
general this doesn't happen unless some folders would be missing, and are recreated. If you start zope with it's own uid/gid you'll prevent
running into this issue.

It looks like the imaplib.py your zope is importing hasn't been 
patched yet. stock imaplib.py has a bug, that results in an infinite
loop. patching it should solve your problem.

concerning the readonly INBOX folder using UW IMAP server, I've heard
from other users that this appears on some versions of UW IMAP and
some not? We're not using UW IMAP (yet), we use Cyrus.

Maybe somebody else using UW IMAP has figured out what the issue is
there and how to fix it?

Cheers,
Ryan
