Thank you for the FAQ. I think I can follow it! :-) > > >Um... that's about it. Emailer just works in Classic. No fuss no muss. > >(ok, I over simplified, there are a few minor issues...

Happily, I've used DSL for years and never seem to use dialup anymore, so this is not an issue for me. >Also, if you >copy the Emailer folder to or from an OS X drive, .DS_Store files can >appear in all the Emailer folders... when located in the Temp Incoming >folder, this causes Emailer to have unpacking problems with new messages. >To cure it, simply make sure the Temp Incoming folder is empty, then >throw it out. Close all open windows, and start Emailer. Problem will be >solved.... other than those two points, I'm not sure there are any >Classic/OS X issues with Emailer) Now I'll reveal my OS X ignorance: are .DS_Store visible or invisible? Do I have to do something Unixy to make them appear? But whether I can see it or not, in the case of the Temp Incoming folder, all I need to do is to make sure it is empty, trash it, quit and restart CE, and I'm set? Got it. I also took note of this tip: >You might choose to place the Claris Emailer Folder in your User folder. >That way if you backup the User you will also backup all your mail. I appreciate all the help.
