But that's just my VHO. Good point. To clarify the issue, the cache and agent were originally designed for the nntp backend. As a result, they are simply ignored when non-nntp commands (such as renaming a group) are performed. A number of threads have reported problems with moved articles not disappearing or showing the wrong content. I agree that Lars will have to decide whether enhancing the cache and agent to better support imap is a new feature or a bug fix. Kevin
