Terrible problem :(((((

[Fatemeh Taj]

I checked it, after unmounting there was nothing in that directory, I also
checked my backups, if /var/spool/imap has been unmounted during that one
month I should have the directory under /var fylesystem in backups, but
there were nothing there.. :(

Regards
