it is not default behavior. It is like going into supermarket and not finding cigarets next to the counter. >>2.

Is this an attempt to > permit the Mail user read/write to the spool, or does IMAP require World > Read/Write permissions? Mail spool is located at /var/spool/mail/ on email server. I was talking about user's home directory on email/imap server. If you have user aewhale and use standard setup with sendmail or postfix + emails stored in /var/spool/mail + uw imap server, user aewhale should be able to : a) write into /var/spool/mail/aewhale on email server b) write into own home directory. Usually /home/aewhale on email server. If you use squirrelmail, webserver's user should be able to write into squirrelmail data and attachment directories on webserver. You don't have to copy user accounts from email server to webserver. Webserver needs only standard system accounts and ftp or sftp accounts for websites -- Tomas ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
