But, IIRC, that's not where cyrus stores mail. Cyrus uses it's own 'partitions' to store all mail, not the shell home directory. Thus trying to make folders in the ~/mail directory won't get you anywhere. > However whenever I try to create a non-inbox folder I > get the error.

Cyrus doesn't care what the shell account might be using. Cyrus accounts are totally separate from the shell accounts. But then again, I'm not exactly a cyrus expert so feel free to correct me. -Bill Kearney ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyruswiki.andrew.cmu.edu List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
