Yes I agree that $mailroot/spool/local and $mailroot/spool/temp are documented and exist in distribution, but the problem occurs when someone wants to clear out the spool they kill all the folders under $mailroot/spool
Yes I agree, if you don't know what your doing (and you kill too many folders) then you deserve to have pain. The problem is that these individuals then create noise here wanting help fixing, when a simple check in xmail will create the folders as well as the numbered folders at xmail start, and there is less noise. This also improves the appearance of the stability of Xmail when it fixes up after dumb mistakes. I suppose if the error message that occurred was a little more specific - ie. "Error - Mailroot/spool/local folder missing" would do just the same. Less noise = more IMAP coding. <grin> Rob :-) _________________________________________ Censorship can't eliminate evil; it can only kill freedom. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Davide Libenzi Sent: Wednesday, 16 June 2004 2:27 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [xmail] Re: Error message since updating to 1.20 On Tue, 15 Jun 2004 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > We have ALWAYS had to make those DIR manaually.

They *are* in the supplied MailRoot and they are documented to be required. - Davide - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe xmail" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line "help" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe xmail" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line "help" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
