Ok, I've installed dovecot-0.99 or thereabouts from the rpm, is there a .conf file I have to generate for dovecot? The other box is only seeing a small amount of old messages, missing 60 out of 62 or so folders setup in kmail on this machine. They may even exist from a limited run to get the mail without deleting from the servers when I was playing with evolution 2 weeks before. >-- > Les Mikesell > lesmikesell@xxxxxxxxx -- Cheers, Gene People having trouble with vz bouncing email to me should add the word 'online' between the 'verizon', and the dot which bypasses vz's stupid bounce rules.
