What do I do HD> about the '@' in the email address? AFAIK, the '@' is already a valid character in the Cyrus mailbox namespace. "Taken from an email to the cyrus list: cyrus-imapd-2.0.12 - imap/mboxname.c - line #187: I believe this is what you're looking for... #define GOODCHARS " +,-.0123456789:[EMAIL PROTECTED]" -David Fuchs" Technically, the '.' is already a legal character in mailbox names, but it does something funky (I don't recall quite what it is/was), but the patch curbs that behaviour. HD> Thanks a lot (especially for answering so fast) Np. I've been doing a lot of research into this lately. You caught me at a good time ;) Btw, I have to agree with the LDAP recommendation. -- Kevin
