does Maildir/.moin have any subdirectories? If you make a change in a subdirectory, that change does not change the modification time of its parent directory, but does change the modification time of the current directory. might you have modified a child of Maildir/, but modified a grandchild of Maildir/.moin (ie. Maildir/testfile & Maildir/.moin/foo/testfile)? -davidc -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
