I hope you don't mean that VM is saving the inbox on its own? That is
not supposed to happen.

If you mean that the buffer-modified-p flag is getting set needlessly,
that is possible. This is indicated by "*" or "**" in the modeline.
Ideally, all the three VM buffers (Folder, Presentation and Summary)
should show the same buffer-modified-p status. But they are going
their own ways, and it is hard to tell when the folder's status has
changed.

If you can find a reproducible sequence of actions that change the
buffer-modified-p flag needlessly, I can fix it. I myself don't use
IMAP spool files. So, I don't run into these problems.

Cheers,
Uday
