Dear all,
   I'm using Apache 1.3.12, mysql, imp 2.2.3, IMAP running on Linux 6.1.
Currently I just discovered a problem with my email account's setting. It 
appears that I am the only user who could save my mail drafts into drafts 
folder as well as sent-mail folders. When other users attempted to save 
their mail, they get the following error:

   Message sent successfully, ERROR: not saved to /var/spool/mailsent-   
mail  |  5 new, 0 recent
or
   save message failed:
   Append failed: Can't append -file 'var/spool/maildrafts' is not in
   valid mailbox format.

Does this imply that I have to create sent-mail folder and drafts folder in 
different home directory for each user and not to direct the file path to 
the same directory?
Anyone who could enlighten me? TQ.

regards,
  renee
