Please try imap-2006k.  It will probably work better for you.

Are you using traditional UNIX mailbox format (the flat file format in 
which the files start with "From ")?  If so, are you aware that only one 
session at a time is permitted to a mailbox in that format, and that flags 
are not saved until the next checkpoint (expunge, check, close, or proper 
logout)?

If the client opens multiple sessions to the same traditional UNIX format 
mailbox, and/or disconnects without issuing a proper logout, there is a 
possibility that flags will not be saved.  imap-2006j2 may be particularly 
troublesome, as its signal handler was rewritten to deal with a change in 
glibc.  imap-2006k has another rewrite which should improve things.

I recommend that you consider an upgrade to the new mix format in the 
imap-2006 series, or the mbx format (which was also in imap-2004g).  Both 
mbx and mix are immune to this problem.
