Never actually had this problem, but things you might want to check:

1)  Are you running Mercury in bindery or NDS mode?  If you're running
in bindery mode, are they in a bindery context?  If they are, is it
the first one (OK, that's reaching, but sometimes it makes a
difference.  I don't think Mercury likes multiple bindery contexts).

2)  Are those users using a different version of Pegasus than your
other users?  Winpmail 2.4 and DOS Pmail 3.4 and later move the users'
mail directories to a PMAIL directory under the users' home directory
instead of ID number directories under SYS:MAIL.  This is supposedly
because the author got sick of Novell changing specs or something.  If
this is the case, you may not have the C right to the users' proper
mail directory.
