And I plumb hate paths and filenames with spaces, but I did not know Syplpheed literally translated account names into paths, without any automatic escaping. I don't object to spaces in the names of Sylpheed accounts, but I never use them in the names of IMAP folders. > In your case I would have made the directory > #imap/Insomnia.24/7/inbox That's hardly impossible: the standard IMAP structure has INBOX at the top level. Insomnia.247 is good, however, but I have decided on simply Insomnia.
