Yes, yes, we understand the issue--we just disagree totally that "ignoring it is not an option". It's the best option. We have no reason at all to expect anyone will have such a directory. And if they do, they have no reason to expect Binc IMAP to export it. By your own long experimentation with Courier, you have shown that Courier IMAP is "braindead" with this directory present, so the fact that we sensibly and correctly ignore it is a distinct improvement. We should treat the directory ./.INBOX exactly as if it did not exist, and we will see nothing but correct behavior from the server under all conditions. -- Lee Daniel Crocker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://www.piclab.com/lee/> "All inventions or works of authorship original to me, herein and past, are placed irrevocably in the public domain, and may be used or modified for any purpose, without permission, attribution, or notification."--LDC
