Running OS 9.2.2 and Internet Explorer 5.1, the Favorites are in the System Folder ->Preferences ->Explorer. I do not know the process for moving them into Safari. I recommend you check the Help function for Safari. Mail files are in the Identities Folder, which could be in a couple different places. Look first in the Applications Folder ->Outlook Express 5.02 Folder (or similar named folder). Else, use Find File or Sherlock to search for location of "Identities." Within the Identities Folder, you can see all the interrelated files controlled by the application. Do not disturb the arrangement. There is a particular method of importing the necessary pieces into Mail, which I am not able to describe. Check the Mail Help function, or I trust someone else can help. -- Al Poulin Anger, hate, and revenge are for the devil, forgiveness is for God, proactive self-defense is for the rest of us. -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
