How? By using "rmm"? > Still I get the same message: > > Error expunging:609: Input/output error > Hiran Maybe it would be good to try to change all the files in the directory to the new group specification. Please try this and let us know how it goes. Try something like $ chgrp mail <dir_name>/* # where I assume mail is the group name You may have changed the group you're working under, but not that which the older files were created with. Can you test this? regards, darel henman _______________________________________________ Bug-mailutils mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-mailutils
