I have read the maildirmake man page before but maybe I've missed the line saying where should the mailfolder be. I think a "cd /home/$USER; maildirmake Maildir" for all users will do the trick then. Thank you I was suspecting that bit your refered from exim, but I was not even sure exim was left in the installation. I think I got lost with what is running in my system.. PS: Actually, I would expect courier to do it... at lest for the users created AFTER courier install... (This would be something like writing to the /etc/skel , if I'm not mistaken)... but ok :-) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
