May I suggest that you use a back-up system? Even if it's as simple as copying that Powermail folder to a Zip disk on a regular basis, it can be a life-saver. We all depend on email more than we care to admit, and for some it is a vital source of information. If it was suddenly lost (as you thought it might be), think how you would have to virtually start over from scratch. I keep a LaCie Pocket Drive (small Firewire hard drive) that I back up my PowerBook with. In the event of a hard drive crash on the PowerBook, it's easy to access the backup quickly on a another machine or reinstate once a new hard drive is installed.
