Not specifically, but I'd try a different mail client to see if it 
repeats. If so, then the server can be considered suspect, if not, it's 
a windows issue. Are they using IMAP4 or POP3? Subject says POP3, but 
you also mention courier-imap in the message. IMAP4 can have permission 
issues not applicable to POP3 of course.
