CM doesn't like being too far down a directory path. AFAIR from
ancient postings, CM doesn't like being too far down a directory tree.
The Cmanager drawer on my machine is on my 'InterNet:' partition
alongside rather than in the NetConnect drawer.
I also lost info when Genesis was altered to accomodate an ethernet
connection.

Is 1.9 the latest? Each time I habve updated I have gone back to v1.3
for
reliability. Then I stopped updating.

That is making rather a long path name. Do you really need your email
address
as a dir name and a filename? Try shorter names.
Delete the whole drawer with the saved data in it. If ever you do get
it
working backup that drawer regularly. Cm has a habit of corrupting it
and
losing all your saved data.

I believe it is what it uses to keep track of other holists, and YAM's
etc
address book so it can check for changes.

Yes. But it would not have made sense for several dozen people to
respond, "I
don't know," to you your original query, would it?
