Right, that's the whole point. I do have other files in there and also my nnfolder-folders. To put it the other way round I have other files in my nnfolder directory (including the correspendoning .spool files). But that isn't "allowed" because greedy nnfolder-generate-active takes all. This leads to having both the folder and the folder.spool file folders which is definitely not-a-good-thing(TM). So I can have other junk in my spool directory, but not other junk in my nnfolder directory. That is unfair! Jan
