Right you are. From the Maildir specification: "Unless you're writing messages to a maildir, the format of a unique name is none of your business. A unique name can be anything that doesn't contain a colon (or slash) and doesn't start with a dot. Do not try to extract information from unique names. " Binc IMAP can not move messages from new/ that contain a colon, or rather, it is not allowed to do this by the spec. So there are two obivous fixes to this problem - either move the files into cur/ manually, or update the perl script and have it stuff the files into cur/ directly instead of new/. :-) Andy -- Andreas Aardal Hanssen | http://www.andreas.hanssen.name/gpg Author of Binc IMAP | "It is better not to do something http://www.bincimap.org/ | than to do it poorly."
