Hi,
Out of the box, Courrier IMAP works very easily with exim when delivering mail
to local users $HOME/Maildir. I followed

However when connecting via IMAP to the server, you cannot create directories
on the level of the IMAP
without the spam stuff)).
thanks for the tips guys. tom

2) Put the equivalent line in .xmod (or .xmodmap)
keycode 64 = Meta_L
3) execute xmodmap .xmod
4) start emacs and try.

Previously with KDE 1.1.2 I had emacs working with the Meta function

However after installing KDE2 on debian the ALT key no longer

Even if I change the KDE keybindings emacs is not able access the ALT
