Exim not marking messages as read

Hi there,

I have just updated my exim4 to version 4.50-8 on my Debian Sarge box. It seems the INBOX file in /var/mail (accessed by imap4) is read only for some reason. I cannot mark messages as read, or delete them. The file attributes are user:mail and +r+w-x.

You mark them as read, or delete them in the MUA, and when you restart, they are back again.

Anyone have any ideas?

Well, I upgraded to Debian Etch, with Exim 4.54 #1, and the problem has gone. Never did work out what was doing it.
