There are some resonable defaults that are available in SquirrelMail, or the other option is a recompile of UW. The first option is probably easy, depending on how many users you have, and how many mail files you are using. For each user, create a directory called mail/ in their home directory. Then move all users mail files into that folder, under SquirrelMail run config/conf.pl (in the root squirrelmail directory), select D then type in uw. Save the configuration... This will force SquirrelMail to search inside the mail/ folder ONLY for mail files. The other option is a recompile if I remember correctly. I think uw-imap has an FAQ item on it here http://www.washington.edu/imap/IMAP-FAQs/index.html, but I don't remember the exact number. I think it mentions something about the CONFIG file, you have to edit it before you build uw-imap, and there is a line that allows you to force uw-imap itself to be started inside mail/ (or whereever you specify) instead of $HOME. -- Jonathan Angliss <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: New Crystal Reports XI.
