Just to be on the safe side you may need to copy the files from the one Maildir's cur folder to the other's new directory. Courier will take care of moving the mail from new to cur when it's ready. So something like: mv /home/user/Maildir/.New Stuff/cur/* /home/users/Maildir/.Old Stuff/new/ Jay -- Jay Lee Network / Systems Administrator Information Technology Dept.
