I'm having/had a similar problem (hasn't happened recently, but I'm still 
concerned about it), but I use Maildir locally in KMail.  It's an IMAP 
account, and the IMAP server (which I also run) is also using Maildir.  
There's no mbox anywhere, AFAIK.  Why would I be having similar "nullified" 
email problems, if mbox is the culprit?

himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession 
of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it."  -- Thomas
