Hi again,
Well to be quite honest, it wasn't something that I had read, but I couldn't find (not saying it isn't there) what purpose that particular directory structure had (as it wasnt apparantly associated with any user). So it was presumption on my part (incorrect it seems). I dont necessarily think it was an unreasonable one, in that the skel system of creation of directories on system user creation is one that is there, so again, I presumed that that was its (the ~/vpopmail/Maildir) function, to create a standard set of Maildirs for a user. Sorry if I was wrong, tho it may be an interesting feature to think about implementing???
