What you are seeing via webmail is just based on the web programmer's choice of presentation and may not really reflect the structure on the server. Evo will basically present you with the structure on the server. You may be able to move the folders using Evo to suit your needs. Drag and drop as you would local folders. > > 2.

I'm not clear on what you want to accomplish. To begin understanding IMAP, just envision that Evo is presenting you with the folders as they appear on your ISP's server. When you do things with folders in Evo, you are making the changes on the server. It is not the same, but comparable to using FTP to move files and folders on a server. -- Art Alexion MIS x3075
