how did you rsync the contents? What was the command you used? Because we consolidated several mail-servers into one big machine, we had to move several MailDirs from the old machines to the new one without any problems, and we took rsync, too. But you need to remember two things, 1. setting approriate User/ Group rights to access the Maildir on the new machine 2. all folders within the Maildir are hidden folders Christian -- =========================================================== Christian Rost roCon - Informationstechnologie Glatzer Weg 4 44534 Lünen fon: +49 (0) 2306 910 658 fax: +49 (0) 2306 910 664 url: http://www.rocon-it.de ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
