if you somehow sourced or interpreted it during the move then that likely stripped some of the protecting characters (or did you cut and paste?). without seeing the exact file i'm not going to be able to interpret your strings above. you may have left out something important and i can't make sense of things like: > set imap_pass =3D 'word1\$word2=E2=80=98 -> word1\\ #Really! i.e. i see no closing quote character and that may be affecting other stuff later... ant
