Please use Bourne or POSIX shell syntax for your demonstration scripts.
This one is simple enough to redo in Bourne, so nevermind this time, but
please remember next time.

Chances are this has long since been fixed, please ask all bug
submitters to re-test with 6.2.9-rc6.

Besides that, I have - for now - been unable to reproduce this, I have
however only Dovecot and Cyrus here to test.

If one of you can reproduce this problem, please let me know which IMAP
server you have been using. I don't have CommuniGate servers to test
with.
