I understand and agree with your second sentence. The issue though is that if I use '~' or '~/' without the '.' suffix I get the following error: Error: user henry: Initialization failed: Initializing mail storage from mail_location setting failed: No home directory for system user. Can't expand ~ for mail root dir in: ~:INBOX=/var/mail/henry It seems to have a problem expanding '~' or '~/', but not '~/.' Regards Henry
