Hi Terry I didn't use an installer, I copied the Eudora folder across from my 6116 to the 9600. The mailboxes and address book were emptied out in the process... I have no idea why the program does this! I have managed to get them in place, but they have been mangled... some mailboxes are duplicated, others have had their names altered! Other old ones I deleted months or more ago have reappeared... now I don't know what to do! I did figure out how to get them to work, however... in the Eudora copy in the System: Documents folder I opened each mailbox. This created an alias of each mailbox in the Mail Folder, and for each mailbox I did this for, that mailbox would then appear in the manubar Mailbox menu. So that one is fixed... now I just have to figure out how to get the CORRECT mailboxes in there!! -- Andrew Grebneff 165 Evans St, Dunedin 9001, New Zealand <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Seashell, Macintosh, VW/Toyota van nut -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
