The Mail directory for K-Mail since (I believe) 3.1 *is* a hidden directory, while the sub-directories in it are not. No point hiding those is there, they live in a hidden directory. The rest of what you advised is probably accurate. I wouldn't know and don't intend to discover since spamassassin and I have never been more than coldly cordial to one another. I use bogofilter, far less horsepower required, easily configured, while just as accurate.

I just thought I would toss out that I use a little (poorly written) bash script called spam-learn that resides in ~/bin and is made executable. echo SpamPile sa-learn --spam ~/.Mail/SpamPile/cur/ echo inbox sa-learn --ham ~/.Mail/inbox/cur/ echo Ads sa-learn --ham ~/.Mail/Ads/cur/ I run it daily after my new mail arrives, and it works great, as I rarely have to handle this manually.

Maybe it changed right after that? -- /\ Dark Lord \/ Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com Join the Club : http://www.mandrakeclub.com
