Marcus, My experience is the same, except it doesn't work with Ununtu and 2.12.1 nor with SLED and 2.6.0 (Novell).
(incidentally, I cant find any difference between Novell's SLED version
of 2.6 and Ubuntu's version of 2.12.1 in performance and bugs or lack of
them. I found Ubuntu's 2.10 - that came with Feisty -- was buggier than
either 2.6 or 2.12.1)
And I have made a point of not accessing the mail with another client
during this test.
