uh, no, that's backwards. all *nix systems allow multiple simultaneous logins 
by the same user. most other OSes do too. same with most IM networks, most web 
sites, and many other multi-user systems i can think of.

when locking is needed, it's typically handled at a much finer granularity 
than a single global lock per user.

matt's point was that IMAP, along with these other systems, was designed to 
allow simultaneous access from multiple clients to a single user's mailboxes.

by default, pine expunges when you quit. the expunge-only-manually and 
expunge-without-confirm[-everywhere] options control this behavior.
