Something strange about the namespace though in sm the Public Spam mailbox shows up as #Users/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/Spam. When I tried to run fetchmail on #Public/Spam it said it did not exist. It did work though on the former and the emails show up as read in sm. One final question: If I understand the daemon and polling correctly this is a sleeping background process now and will run every 60 minutes without any other intervention correct? Thanks for all your help!!!
