Just one thing I should mention.  I always set up my users with the same 
username and UID as previously held.  David is always 501 (Mandriva always 
used to start users at 500, and I've maintained the list of UIDs for 7 years 
or more).  When I looked at the perms for David's Inbox on the server it was 
owned 501:VBoxusers.  This is crazy, and I've no idea where that came from.  
On the server I changed ownership recursively to david:david.  Unfortunately, 
this didn't resolve the issue.  I'm just hoping that it rings a bell with 
someone, though.
