Not that this has anything to do with your EIMS/IMAP issue, but the colon is not an invalid character in OS X. The directory delimiter is actually a slash now and slashes in filenames are cosmetically displayed as slashes, though they are actually converted to colons behind the scenes. As an example, drop into Terminal and type: touch 'test:test' This will create a file called "test:test" as shown by this ls output: sh-2.05b$ ls -l total 0 -rw-r--r-- 1 remo staff 0 26 Oct 17:28 test:test But if you view this file in the Finder, it'll display as "test/test". You can repeat the test in the inverse by creating a file in the Finder called "test/test" and you'll find that ls will report the file is called "test:test". You may now return to your regularly scheduled discussion... :-) -Remo Del Bello -- "I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells.
