Summary: is owned by someone else!

Initial Comment:
Hello
I have a problem with the latest release 0.8.0, which I did not have with 0.7.2
While logged in as root, I get the error XXX mail is owned by someone else!. 
Where XXX mail is the name if the email account.
The files are owned by a different user, indeed, with 700 permission. But, they were set the same from the beginning.

Message:
When run as root, archivemail up to version 0.7.2 used to automatically
setuid to the owner of the mailbox it is processing. This feature has been
removed - the right way is to run archivemail as the user who owns the
mailbox. The check producing the error message you see was introduced to
prevent any silent breakage.

If you have other reasons to archive user mailboxes as root, please let me
know; otherwise I'll close this bug.
