I thought this whole issue was about automating the process so that the admin did not have to pre-create any files or directories; Exim will do the whole job. But if I do what you suggest, then the admin will have to pre-create the main new/tmp/cur files in case the first message is for a subfolder. So if those have to be pre-created, what have we gained? Might as well pre-create everything. -- Philip Hazel University of Cambridge Computing Service Get the Exim 4 book: http://www.uit.co.uk/exim-book -- ## List details at http://www.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://www.exim.org/eximwiki/
