Yes - I have full_filesystem_access = yes and my mail folders are stored
in the form ~/IMAP/

So the "fragility" which I mistakenly accused the code of was probably
due to experimenting with a potential upgrade from WU-IMAP where people
have variable mail storage directories (~/IMAP or ~/Mail or others) - I
was swicthing that option on and off regularly.

In fact that issue may be solved by the advice you just gave someone
else on the use of namespaces - I will try that tomorrow.

Thanks for the quick reply Timo.

The test series are looking good.

Best wishes

Tim
