Thanks Darrell and of course Peter!
I finally found the original message too (bit mixed up between Imap and
POP3... :-))
It looks like everything is there.
I am going to test some restores on a seperate harddisk.
Now as far as the other question as to is this backup usable to safely
update to any future 4.1 release?
Or will I use this as a restore for the current 4.1b4 only?
Again, my thanks,
