Hi Willem; Glad to have you back, sorry to hear about your trouble. Since I have no knowledge of databases and suchlike, the only thing that I can think of is that maybe when you returned to using Powermail after your little flirtation with Mail, you inadvertently started a new PM database. Then, when the crash happened and PM had to ask where the files were, you pointed it toward the old one.
This is most likely not the case (since you would surely have noticed, when the new database was created, that it was empty as opposed to containing all your old email!) However, is it possible that you have a backup copy of the PM Files folder? And that you have recently been using this backup (without realising it) rather than the original one? In that case the same thing could happen: you think that you are using database A when you are actually using database B; PM crashes, asks for the location of the db; you naturally show it database A... which in fact hasn't been used since 26 Jan. Highly speculative, but I'm just throwing ideas out, more or less at random. At least we can maybe eliminate one possibility?
