Bill, just for grins, go into the terminal and type this:
cd "/Users/XXXX/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Office X Identities/Main
Identity"
(replacing XXXX with your short username -- you'll see it just before the %
sign at the terminal prompt.) That should all be on one line!
This will take you to the location where your mail database should be. Now
type this:
ls -la
This will give you a list of all the files with their permissions. Mine
looks like this:
drwxrwxrwx 8 adamsp staff 272 25 Apr 09:37 .
drwxrwxrwx 5 adamsp staff 170 21 Oct 2003 ..
-rwxr-xr-x 1 adamsp staff 6148 29 Apr 15:04 .DS_Store
-rw-r--r-- 1 adamsp staff 415307024 12 May 16:56 Database
-rw-r--r-- 1 adamsp staff 17092 12 May 16:56 Database Cache
-rw-r--r-- 1 adamsp staff 24848 25 Apr 09:38 Mailing Lists
-rw-r--r-- 1 adamsp staff 38976 6 May 09:25 Rules
-rw-r--r-- 1 adamsp staff 20768 25 Apr 09:38 Signatures
Now type this:
chown XXXX:staff *
(again, replacing XXXX with your short username). This will set the
ownership of the files to you. It may be that although the short usernames
match between the two computers, the owner ID is different. If the
permissions don't match what they should be (-rw-r--r--), type:
chmod 644 *
If that doesn't work, I'm out of ideas!
Good luck,
peter
