[Zope] worldpilot INBOX error

[daniel@denverdomain.com]

I have tried setting the imap paths to my old university account
(ucsub.colorado.edu) which runs on a SunOS 5.6 box, and all works fine, just
not on my Linux boxen (i have tired it on two seperate RH machines).  If I set
up a new account with only a few messages in the inbox, all works fine, but on
older accounts with a much larger /var/spool/mail/* file, I get the original
'INBOX' error message.
