Yes, it would be nice. File a wishlist bug. The question will be whether it is a high-enough priority to get done any time "soon". In the mean time, this *might* be faster: 1. Make any new folders in home Evo 2. --force-shutdown home Evo 3. rm all the home *cmeta *ev-summary *ibex.index* files (don't forget sub-directories). 4. "cat >>" the school mboxes to the proper home mbox files. 5. restart home Evo. It will recreate the metadata files. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Ron Johnson, Jr. Jefferson, LA USA PGP Key ID 8834C06B I prefer encrypted mail.
