Please try to understand the paradigm better before posting such aggressive replies. Or if you think you can create an IMAP-based user prefs system, please submit a prefs backend plugin for our review -- we would be very excited to post this on the SM site. The suggested userdel wrapper is a very simple and very easy solution that probably 90% of the sysadmins that have this requirement use. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
