You can't attach images on TBUDL. What did it say? RTT> Anyone who has done that successfully? Yes. But it all depends on your IMAP server... and whether you have permissions to create folders. On my server I can create new 'folders' using TB! However, many IMAP servers do not create a folder on the file system but rather a file or mailbox to store the messages. Consequently, some 'folders' cannot store messages (since they don't exist or are simply a folder.) TB! normally identifies these correctly and the folder name is grey not black. Probably best to use an example: A simple folder structure... | +INBOX +Drafts +Sent mail +Trash The corresponding files/folders on the server are: Maildir Maildir/INBOX Maildir/Drafts etc. If I want to create another folder, say 'Junk mail' just right-click on the account name and select New->Folder. Alternatively, use Manage IMAP folder. BTW, use Ctrl-F2 beforehand to make sure you're connected to the server. This will result in a new file on the server: Maildir/Junk mail However, if you try to create a folder in the INBOX it may not work... on my server I can create a new folder, which in turn creates a file called Maildir/INBOX;New folder on the server. IIRC I could not do this with UW-IMAP. Another example... I keep all my mailing lists in a folder called Mailing lists. :-) This folder doesn't really exist though. The folder tree looks like this: +Mailing lists +TBBETA +TBUDL +TBOT etc. ...but on the server I have the following files: Maildir/Mailing lists;TBBETA Maildir/Mailing lists;TBUDL etc. As you can see there's no corresponding mailbox for Mailing lists (which has grey text.) To create this folder structure in TB! use Manage IMAP folders and specify the folder name as 'Mailing lists;TBBETA' etc. Finally, make sure you set up your folder subscriptions... again with Manage IMAP folders. -- .\\artin | ICQ 15893823 "There can't be a crisis next week.
