Next problem:

    ~> cvs add <newdirectory>
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "/cvsroot/cdd/CVSROOT/syncmail", line 103, in ?
        from email.Utils import formataddr
    ImportError: No module named email.Utils

Smells like a missing Python module ...

Strangely enough this occures only for adding dirctories not for new
files.  But this seems to be caused by some CVS internal differences between
handling files and directories.  The final commit showed more problems
(see below).

Kind regards

         Andreas.
