I could be wrong in the instance of t-bird/mutt, but it has been my understanding the pointing different readers at the same mail mbox or maildir store was a bad thing as they would create indexes and things that could break the ability of the other program to access the mail. Of course, the easiest solution is webmail. I don't like any version of it I have tried, but it solves the problem of accessing mail from a variety of places without setting up an IMAP server. -- _____________________________________________________________ Art Alexion PGP fingerprint: 52A4 B10C AA73 096F A661 92D2 3B65 8EAC ACC5 BA7A Keyserver: hkp://subkeys.pgp.net The attachment - signature.asc - is my electronic signature; no need for alarm.
