I assume the you have SET MOZILLA_HOME=D:\MOZPROFILES in your config.sys. Make another folder and unzip 0.9.6 therein. Do not use warpzfol.cmd, but click upon the mozilla.exe file. When it opens, see if you now can read your inboxes. Note only one instance of Mozilla/IBM Web Browser can be open at a time. You cannot have 0.9.9 open while using 0.9.6. Same for the dailies, but you have problaby discovered this already. This is my work-around. In spite of Mike's discovering a bug in the inboxes read routine, I believe that there is a bug in the write routine, due the always re-indexing of the inboxes each time I open one. The read routine in 0.9.6 works. We will have to await for Mike's fix to get in before we know for sure. -- Bill <Have a Good April Fool's Day>
