It's confusing to say the least. But I know they are in /Maildir.ALE, I
jumped onthe console and went to that directory and there the messages were
in all their IMAP glory. I went into OE and clicked on IMAP Folders, Reset
List - and can see the ALE and Fedora lists. So OE sees them as well. Time
to boot out of Win2K and into RH9.0 to see what it looks like (work laptop,
dual-boot. office "allows" RH9.0 and Win2K).

It's time for ClamAV and Amavisd-new. Don't know if that will make my old PC
roll over, but will give it a shot. I want AntiVir running before giving out
e-mail addrs. to the family (running WinXP, Win98 and SuSE 8.2).
