If I'm right, then this nnml backend is using the same active file as your default and therefore thinks its getting new mail as a result of the active file updates. Before moving to nnimap, I consolidated three different nnml trees in the manner you are trying. I had no trouble doing so. -- Dave Goldberg david.goldberg6@verizon.net
