Sorry, try searching for shared message blocks - I'm confusing the two. Shared folders is similar, and has been discussed at the same time, though. Shared message blocks would be what handles the scenarios of copying a message from one folder to another and of one message being delivered to multiple recipients. You have only one set of message_blks entries, and multiple messages entries pointing to them (which cannot be done with the current schema). Shared folders is multiple people having access to the messages stored in a folder, and that can be done in the current schema (with changes to the applications). -- Jesse Norell jesse (at) kci.net
