Ok, your email is a bit confusing so I'm not quite sure what you're trying to accomplish. I'm not sure why you'd want to stick an mbox mailbox in a maildir path. Let's take this one step at a time and confirm everything is working properly before going to the next step. Step 1 - Which mailbox standard do you want to use - mbox or maildir? The answer to this question should be just one word, but feel free to google pros/cons of each. Step 2 - We'll confirm postfix is configured appropriately for that choice and that it is delivering mail to the right place using shell commands (cat/etc) and not touch thunderbird. Step 3 - We'll configure thunderbird to use the appropriate location. So, step 1 - which of the two formats do you WANT to use? mbox or maildir? I don't care how the old host worked. I don't care how the new host is working now. Which way do you WANT it to work? -- Rich
