The reason that your INBOX is empty is that IMAPdir requires Maildir/INBOX to be the path to your INBOX. Conversion from Maildir++ to IMAPdir is usually done with creating a symlink. The next release will contain scripts that do the same thing, but the archives also show you how to do this automatically: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.mail.imap.binc.general/895/match=inbox+script Binc IMAP created an empty INBOX mailbox inside Maildir when you logged in without this symlink (because of the "auto create inbox" setting in your conf file). You need to remove the mailbox that Binc created, and create the symlink. Be careful to be at the right location in the filesystem when doing this: rm -rf INBOX ln -s . INBOX The '.' entry is the Maildir++ equivalent of INBOX. >i cannot get rid of the one that does not work.

Would really like No, there is no need to reconfigure your MTA. :-) >NOW FOR THE LOG STUFF >logging in on netscape 7.1 all seems ok (...) >logging out of netscape 7.1 errors i know i have sent this in serveral >times i am sorry for that but here it is agian.

Oh ya and there >is two users in my netscape client one is testimap and the other is rmvg. All these lines in the log are caused by Netscape dropping its IMAP connections when you click the X. Binc is just being too verbose in its logs :(. No error, nothing to worry about, and the next release will not be that verbose.
