James thanks, problem is that kmail already grabbed the /var.../inbox and saved it internally. Google + RFM (and I do not like their manual, no index and yech format of real info) but try try and it turns our kmail can create a folder in maildir or in mbox format. Makeing a mbox folder solved the problem. <grump> kmail actually is the best featured mailer I've used, just given me the most fatal-errors I've ever had </grump> James -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
