Problem creating / finding mailboxes

[Bron Gondwana]

You'll be wanting to cm user/testuser2 (and so on), because with unixheirsep on, the dot gets replaced with DOTCHAR (^) and you actually created a top level folder called "user.testuser2" rather than what you expected, a subfolder of user called testuser2.

Regards,

Bron.
