[09:32:35 shaul]$ ls -ld Mail drwx--x--x 13 shaul mail 1024 Dec 18 09:36 Mail [13:51:40 shaul]$ If I'll change the permissions, will it not be a source of problems ? Can someone else that use exmh send me the permissions of his Mail directory ? Should I file a bug against exmh because of those permissions ?
