I knew that. I was asking about mbx, not mbox (notice the lack of the letter 'o'). Let me explain further. I am using SquirellMail with UW-IMAP. UW-IMAP is very slow in sorting and filterting when called from SM, especially if it uses mbox format, which is apparently what we were using. The speed up notes say to convert to mbx format which is the best preferred format these days. I couldn't find a conversion tool from mbox to mbx, but found some for mox to MAILDIR. I just wondered if the two (mbx and MAILDIR) are the same. Ed >scott > > > -- Ed Howland WDT Solutions, LLC.
