Go back to IMP, it works much better in my experience. The IMAP server will create folders with the dot naming scheme. I haven't seen Mutt create Maildir folders correctly, but it certain handles them correctly. (Just escape to the shell and use 'maildirmake' instead). My slackware mutt config files are available here: http://www.orbis-terrarum.net/~robbat2/mutt/ Depending on how security minded you are, one thing I have started to do it disallow direct user access to Maildirs, and instead use IMAP for all access, even from Mutt. -- Robin Hugh Johnson E-Mail : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Home Page : http://www.orbis-terrarum.net/?l=people.robbat2 ICQ# : 30269588 or 41961639 GnuPG FP : 11AC BA4F 4778 E3F6 E4ED F38E B27B 944E 3488 4E85
