Firstly, thanks very much for the replies so far. I have been reading the install docs for SqWebmail and I did not have --enable-unicode. Would this have stopped the Japanese from working? I see enable-unicode includes all the sets, but as I said before, I really don't know anything about character sets, and the section in the install doc about unicode and imap went way above my head. Thanks, Andrew
