There are already a gazillion email services that do mailbox consolidation--the term for what you're attempting. Why are you reinventing the wheel? Must be a family and the dog project... A quick browse of your Wordpress blog confirms such. It also explains why you wrote code to create maildir files from scratch. Only a programmer assumes that the first path to a solution is to write new code. A system administrator on the other hand, most of us here, Google's for suitable FOSS, then looks in his distro repos for it, and builds from source if a package isn't available. We only script when out of Elmer's and duct tape. ;) -- Stan
