I assume several processes may not perform POP on the same mailbox at  
the same time. And apparently the way google talks to the server keeps  
processes open, thus locking additional ones.

In the IMAP situation Google does not seem to understand the IMAP  
response from the server. I believe the Cyrus IMAP server can be  
considered a reference when it comes to IMAP. So if Google does not  
understand it this is definitely something they need to fix on their  
side.

Cheers,

Gunnar
