Those directory permissions don't make sense as that would make them read and executable only? When I get errors reading all by my INBOX the error message I get in my Outlook dialog box is: Your 'caughtspam' folder was not polled for its unread count. Could not get the unread counts for 'caughtspam' on '192.168.0.1' Account: '192.168.0.1', Server: '192.168.0.1', Protocol: IMAP, Server Response: 'STATUS failed: Can't get status of mailbox home/Administrator/Mail/caughtspam: no such mailbox', Port: 143, Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x800CCCD2 The folder does exist and it's permissions are the same as INBOX, which does work. The only think I can think is that this folder was made under pine?
