I remeber when I did create the partition (using YAST) I choose FAT32
Here the line of my fstab:
"/dev/hda7            /windows/D           vfat       rw,users,uid=milani,gid=users       0 0"
Do you think I need to change it?

Thanks for the reference to Peter Smith Thread,
I have setup a Local Maildir on the linux filesystem, and It works correctly,
then I have tryed to copy the content of the Maildir folder on my Windows partition, but I receive the following error message < impossible to create the file `/windows/D/posta_locale/Renato Macconi/cur/1123061647.6499_1.eris:2,S' : invalid argument  > for each message in the maildir.
Probably my filesystem is not able to manage 1123061647.6499_1.eris:2,S file name.

Is there a solution?

Thanks
Mario
