Thank you for the patch. To make it work, you need to define the variable "folder_path". I would recommend this: char folder_path[4096]; And then before using it, do this: memset(folder_path, 0, sizeof folder_path); Cheers. Jonathan On Wed, Jan 09, 2002 at 04:57:34PM -0500, Jeffrey Stedfast wrote:

I've thought about it some more, and I'm upgrading my "maybe" to a strong "this is the proper way to do it". Symlinks should not be locked. They should be followed with realpath() and the real mailbox should be locked, like other MUA's do. This will truly make it compatible and play nicely on the Unix system.It also fixes this.
