Thanks for the response. Unfortunately I don't have the source RPM as I installed RedHat by FTP. I recompiled the imap server just now to test. It still doesn't give me my new mail from /var/spool/mail. ls -l /var/spool drwxrwxrwt 2 root mail 16384 Sep 19 08:30 mail ls -l /var/spool/mail/simon -rw-rw---- 1 simon mail 681633 Sep 19 08:14 simon Why can't the IMAP daemon see that file then? ls -l /home/simon drwxrwxrwx 2 simon mail 4096 Sep 19 08:16 INBOX drwxr-xr-x 2 simon mail 4096 Sep 19 08:28 mail -rwxrwxrwx 1 simon mail 13309124 Sep 18 19:50 mbox There's my mbox file, as you can see I have set open permissions so that everyone should see it while still testing Can anyone help? Regards Simon
