Hi, Yup, Just checked in userdrake, and I'm still showing as 500 (as I was previously in 2006), and having checked the properties of my home folder, my username is showing as owner of the folder.... I have manually made a .Mail folder with no problems.... And I have uninstalled Kmail and it's associated packages, rebooted and reinstalled (from urpmi sources, not CD), and still have the same problem... I tried from a clean install, and couldnt. I downloaded all relevant updates, and still cant get it to work.... Strange! James ____________________________________________________ Want to buy your Pack or Services from Mandriva?
