I am using VM version 5.32 beta and I noticed the following problem : 
While reading my mail as "su", VM opens my INBOX file and gets my new mail
(if any), but when exiting, the INBOX file and modified folders are saved
under name "root". Next time I use VM as a normal user, VM can't access the
INBOX file if it was not world readable, and crashes creating a INBOX.CRASH
file.

Did anybody already notice this problem ? Any solution ?
