Logging in via IMAP does not run any shell that reads $HOME/.profile. Just because this is what happens when you log in to a shell account, via telnet or ssh, doesn't mean that the same thing is going to happen with an IMAP login. In fact, most of the time IMAP mail accounts are mail-only accounts, and have no corresponding system account, with a .profile, to log into. -- Sam ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: Jabber - The world's fastest growing real-time communications platform!
