Yes, thank you. I have found that the solution (in my case at least) is to only use Folders created by IMAP clients, and to simply mv email from eg the kmail subdirectory ~/Maildir/Italy/ to eg ~/Maildir/.Italy/new/ . I found that dovecot dealt with this correctly, registering the email and moving it to ~/Maildir/.Italy/cur/ . -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
