In fact, I didn't intent to ask for a solution that maps the complete label concept (which as you stated is way more powerful) onto the old-fashioned directory based approach. What I rather had in mind was a subset like the exception that is made for sent mail for the other standard directories. Sent mail is already being copied into a specified source to be kind of backwards compatible with the classical maildir structure. And I would feel it to be a natural extension to do so for spam, deleted, read mail as well. > Waiting on the heliotrop/turnsole projects ! Thanks for the hint. Since two very well respected colleagues of mine are using 'not much' right now, you might want to add that one to your list in case you don't mind using emacs. l8r dtk _______________________________________________ sup-talk mailing list sup-talk@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/sup-talk
