So that didn't work, but I'm pretty sure I can solve it in another way. You were correct that I somehow had two copies, but it turns out they were exact duplicates. I now realize that I had modified the info.plist of the local version to correct the version number. I did that so that TechTracker would quit telling me I needed to update the software. I just downloaded what purports to be v1.2.2 from your web site and verified that the info.plist has it at 1.2.1. I trashed the copy in the Local Library but the installer won't let me install it in Home Library. The continue button was grayed out until I clicked on install for all users. Then the installer fails, so I ran the installation fixer but still no joy. Then I ran the uninstaller, the installer fixer and the installer, selecting install for all users, but only got a copy in my Home Library. I moved it to the Local Library, changed the version numbers and Mail works normally.
