if you have IMAP you can delete the directories and account and create a new IMAP account for ISP and it should be back to normal.. If you have a pop3 account you could move all your mail to local folders and delete the system folders&files, and pop account and create a new one and it should work fine.. just get rid of, or move all your mail to local folders if its not saved on the mail-server. That works everytime my IMAP account in netscape webmail acts goophy and does weird things.. -dman84
