There is one(?) caveat though. Don't create your Maildir directory by hand. USE the maildirmake program and then create your mailboxes using the -f switch of maildirmake. Believe me, it can save you lots of grief. Otherwise courier-imap-ssl works out of the box. -- Chris. ====== Don't forget to check that your /etc/apt/sources.lst entries point to etch and not testing, otherwise you may end up with a broken system once etch goes stable. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
