I'm (pleasantly) surprised. How can mail be stored in a directory? .maildir is a directory, so there must be a file somewhere that holds your inbox mail (/var/spool/...?). The naming convention <dir>.<dir>.<mbox> I understand. BTW, might the difference be in the maildir format and MH format? IIRC Sylpheed does not let me make mail folders nested in mail folders on my (old RedHat 7.1) courier-imap server. Gwendolyn. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
