Fulvio, I tried what you suggested, sort of. I took ALL the .msf files on my c: drive (which is in my path) and moved them (to save them) to a d: drive.
I then deleted all the .msf files on C:. So not seeing my mail. Is there some sort of "restore" function in Mozilla? Or am I just out of luck? (Gosh, I hope not. May be time to change back to NS 4.7.) Thanks.
