Yes, but you need an aggravating work-around. If qmail drops each mail into ~/Maildir, then you should think about installing Courier IMAP, and then having Evo access mail via IMAP. Works great for me, and is MUA-independent, so if Evo ever gets cantankerous, you can still read your email. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Ron Johnson, Jr. Jefferson, LA USA PGP Key ID 8834C06B I prefer encrypted mail.
