You didn't need to -- the one you echoed didn't work as the login, so factotum promted for the one that did. > i need to mount this file or open this file > echo open /imaps/imap.gmail.com/thinktankworkspaces mbox >/mail/fs/ctl > Still not sure if I need the @ symbol or not. But guess what I get an > error permission denied or its busy or whatever The echo is only needed if you ran `upas/fs -n`. I use that so I can put the upas command into my profile, and not wait for it to try loading the mailbox. On slow networks the sync can take a long time. If I put the upas command in my profile, it's available for all windows. If you don't use `-n`, then you don't need the echo. You're already done. So, right now, half the stuff you're mentioning is just not needed. So, if you have factotum in your profile, all you need is: upas/fs -f /imaps/imap-server/username (enter password) acme (type Mail, middle click on it) and you should be done.
