[imp] IMP 2.2.6 problems with expunge

[Scott G Mcdaniel]

Thanks for the quick responses,

The problem was with the imap daemon and some bad system memory.  Had it not 
been for the suggestions, I would have been beating my head against the wall 
looking at the IMP stuff all day.

Sincerely,
Scott
