This is why their is a \NoSelect option to reflect that the folder may not be selected, and may not contain mail. > Does anyone know how to set up folders to contain messages > themselves?

I believe Stefan is probably already working on it based on his comments earlier in this thread. It should be interesting to see how he manages to work out what IMAP servers require you to put in the folder delimiter to make folders that may contain subs, and normal mail folders. I think there may be a hint in the RFCs for it, I'd have to look it up. - -- Jonathan Angliss ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Press any key to continue or any other key to quit -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQA/AwUBP1osHCuD6BT4/R9zEQICOwCg95O0wnewBxnmiIKITQFUPDBEzIAAn2IU f/1tww0PnWRg0j19TjSWsxPc =5l8n -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ________________________________________________ Current version is 2.00 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
