That's one way, however you'd be transfering the message to the client, figuring out where to put it and then sending it back again. What's would be even better would be just to move the message on the imap server. Yes you'd still have to pull the message down, but you wouldn't need to send it back again. So instead of giving putmail the entire message, just give it the message's unique message ID on the IMAP server and the destination folder. You would also need to be careful about maintaining message flags (unread etc....). --rdp -- Rich Payne http://talisman.mv.com ***************************************************************** To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the text 'unsubscribe gnhlug' in the message body. *****************************************************************
