That should all be OK. Maybe I'm understanding something wrong here. Say you'd like to edit the mail with article number '10' in INBOX. So you hit 'e' and edit away. After committing the change, the mail number '10' will not exist anymore, but there will be a new article, containing the edited text, but with an article number whatever the IMAP server chose to use (as long as it wasn't used before). Therefore, you did not really 'edit' the article, but created a new one. Regards, David
