This increasingly sounds like you are accessing a UW server with 
traditional UNIX mailbox format.

If you do a new SELECT, then you steal the mailbox from the other session 
and the other session can no longer do anything with the mailbox.

So you haven't fixed the problem.  You just moved the symptom to someplace 
else.

No client should EVER, under ANY circumstances, open the same mailbox more 
than once.  Such a client is fundamentally broken, and will NEVER work 
well.
