I'm not sure why it is displayed like that. I can probably think of why, but my brain just went home ;) > Anyway, I'd like to know how the INBOX is different. INBOX is different in respect that in UW's case, it isn't called INBOX as a file, and it isn't kept in the same place the rest of the files are. UW builds INBOX from the spool file /var/spool/mail/[username], while the others are built from the home directory (unless you are playing with the source code). -- Jonathan Angliss ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf -- squirrelmail-users mailing list List Address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] List Archives: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_id=2995 List Info: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/squirrelmail-users
