As I got several mails with the same question since them, here is the fix: the problem was, that I created the mailboxes with "cm Kerstin.Espey" but not with "cm user/Kerstin.Espey" After creating my mailboxes with "user/" in front of the name, everything works fine. Dots in usernames are no proplems, as we use the option "unixhierarchysep". -- Hope that helps. Kerstin
