I have mounted my qmail mailbox as a Samba share on my NT server. Here I am not able to see any of the hidden folders and files like .Trash, .Sent_Items, etc. Can any one tell me how to view these in NT so that I can take their backup?

Hi,

You have to set the following parameter in the section of smb.conf that relates to the share :

hide dot files = no

From swat ( you select the share you are interested in then go into advanced view and its under 'filename handling' .

Regards
