Thank you very much for your time and effort. During the time between my question and your answer, I just (gratefully) have wondered why the creation of nested folders / mailboxes worked like expected whereas the docs (in my interpretation) stated that it shouldn't work... Now, it's understandable even for complete newbies. Regards, Peter -- GRATIS für alle GMX-Mitglieder: Die maxdome Movie-FLAT! Jetzt freischalten unter http://portal.gmx.net/de/go/maxdome01
