The actual mail accounts are not in SquirrelMail but in Exim, so you have to read up on Exim to backup that. SquirrelMail does keep some internal files though, such as configuration, user preferences and user address books. Find the SquirrelMail configuration directory (it's usually named "config/" but the path might vary depending on how your SquirrelMail was installed) and grep like this: grep "\(attachment\|data\)_dir" * | \ grep -v "\(conf.pl\|config_default.php\)" This should give you a hint of where SquirrelMail keeps its files. "data_dir" is the most important of the two, since "attachment_dir" is a cache of attached files. Back up all SquirrelMail files, especially the config directory and the files in the "data_dir" directory. -- Fredrik Jervfors The SquirrelMail Project Please support Open Source Software by donating to SquirrelMail! http://squirrelmail.org/donations.php ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Palm PDK Hot Apps Program offers developers who use the Plug-In Development Kit to bring their C/C++ apps to Palm for a share of $1 Million in cash or HP Products.
