Maildir's are real directories not single files. Single files are generally in the mbox format. kmail automatically adds in index to the mbox files if they don't exist. If they do exist and are wrong - that may be the cause of the problem. The indexes are called .<folder name>.index (note the . at the front - which generally makes them hidden - you need to do an ls -a on the directory to see them. - -- Alan Chandler [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.0 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE9tPLmuFHxcV2FFoIRAjcMAKC2zeQxMqyBrQyecC7wUEvYziYEdACfZGRA TxkOtc2MQwmpSNE9FoIE9zM= =/Dgz -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
