Messages in the "inbox" are indeed in /var/mail/username, but messages in other folders (outbox, trash, etc) will usually be somewhere in the user's home directory, although this is dependent on what kind of IMAP server you use (which you didn't mention). -- Bill Moran Collaborative Fusion Inc. **************************************************************** IMPORTANT: This message contains confidential information and is intended only for the individual named.
