I suppose it could definitely go for all of the directories you define. I just
haven't been at that point of first setting it up in awhile, but now that you
mention it I do remember fogetting some of the temporary diretories and what
not.

BinkD already creates any outbound directories that aren't your primary AKA, so
I don't see why it shouldn't create any other directories it doesn't find.

Agreed. I was just doing something specific at the time in regards to
fileboxes, so that was all I mentioned (that I noticed at the time).

Regards,
