Doh! My apologies. Yes I am using IMAPdir. It seemed to offer the best way of dealing with directory structure (well folder structure) So what I need to do is have a symlink called INBOX pointing to user/Maildir and have that link in user/Maildir. Great I can have a play with that in my own account. Thanks for your time. John
