This is where it seems puzzling. The directory below imap, and the files

them. However....
Even as root, if I try to descend into the directory 1687036093 (which I see
clearly listed, owned by anne:anne and 0 bytes long) again I am told that
there is no such file or directory.
Anne,
Filenames and directories which start with a '.' (dot) are not shown by
default when you run 'ls'.
Try 'ls -a', or 'ls -al'. Also when running the 'cd' command you need to
type in the correct name of the directory.
For example:
cd /home/anne/.kde/share/apps/kmail/imap
ls -al
cd .1687036093.directory
ls -al
cd .INBOX.directory
ls -al
Best regards,
