Hi, This just might be misconfiguration on the one imap server I have access too, but It might not. when trying to check what's up with my mail using telnet, I've issued a command: LIST "*" "*" and to my suprise got a listing of the files in my directory. I could run LIST "../*" "*" and get the listing of directories above mine. and so forth. Well then i tought to my self how far can this go, so i tried SELECT "/etc/hosts"; FETCH 1 (flags rfc822.text) and guess what I saw... then I went on to CREATE "/tmp/MyTest". Writing into other files is a little tricky but can be done with append after using select to find out if the file is writable.
