ahh, its been like that for ages now, so any backup I got will have same problems

I tried the tools.php a while ago and still had same problem. Only good thing thats came of it is I filtered the mail into a new folder, heh, but still a pain. I will have a word with the server admins, cause I know them personally, its just trying to convince 1 of them to have a look
thanks for the help tho
