I've had this process work before, where the file(s) are definitely there, but the link to the account is wiped out. This may be far more than you *need* to do, but it has worked for me. Perhaps one of the *real* guru's will have a much simpler alternative. Anyway: Go through the process of setting up the account, providing exactly the same info as you had before with respect to mail server, etc. Then, go back to "View Settings for this Account". In the "Server Settings" section, edit the "local directory" path/filename to point to the correct/previous filename. For example: As you are re-creating an account like: mail.earthlink.net, you'll note that because it already exists, a "1" is appended to it. When you go to the local directory path, just "take off" the appended "1", so that it reflects the path/name of the *original* account. Then, shut down Mozilla, re-start, and all of your folders and messages should be back. It's then safe to delete the "1" file from your hard drive that you had to create. Check the dates, make sure you're deleting the right one. Or, just leave it there, as it won't hurt anything. Mark -- e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Can I make this thing initialize my coffee pot?
