Probably with NFS. umounting all the shares fixed the problem, although 
I had to shut down icedove as I keep my mail on a network share. Come to 
think about it, the problem may have started when I switched from cifs 
to nfs to fix a problem I was having with icedove having corrupted 
indexes (therefor not showing new mail arriving in folders until the 
index was rebuilt, and showing read messages as unread).

I'll try to see how few shares cause the problem...
