check the two directory locations in your mail/news account preferences..open server settings/change the local directory filenames so it matches the one you have.. and server settings for new group accounts/ and local for local folders. Then it will show up in your account and all will be working.. This is the worst problem.. You can copy the local and imap/news folder into the new profile but you have to change the local directory filename to match what you copied over. if you rename your copied files to match a new account you setup it dont work, you have to change the directory setting for each account to what you copied, then it will show up. -dman84
