I agree. I've had a few users move their whole Documents folder out to their desktop because: 1) They wanted easier access to their documents folder AND 2) Because they don't know a thing about aliases. Then they go to open their Entourage and all their mail is gone. At this point it's asking them to setup their email account. It's really pretty funny. I don't get a chance to talk to most of these people until there is a problem. -Charlie -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
