If you ever use a keyword for a specific mailbox it stays there until you delete the mailbox (or the indexes). Aki Ok, that explains what I figured out. Is this behavior intended? I could imagine there is a limit of keywords the IMAP server may respond with after a select mailbox. What would happen if the list is full and the user needs to change a keyword? Is it safe then to delete the index files on sdbox from time to time? Is there any way you might think of to get the response overwritten? so no matter what is in the index file the server responds with "a b c"? -- Cheers spi The maximum limit is pretty large, so it's unlikely you end up with that many keywords. It's not safe to delete index files from sdbox, it will reset e.g. unseen flags making the mailbox seem like no emails have been read yet. Aki
