Tonight I played with the mail server that started this discussion. Oddly, all is working (perhaps after a reboot). I can create folders, they are going into the /home/$u/Maildir folders. Strange. The procmailrc was the key I believe. I didn't need to change the envelope and it sits at Maildir:$h/Maildir.<BR>

Thanks for all your help.<BR>
