Marlyse, I made the archive, never used that command before, and it was easy.
But reinstalling PM5 from a new download (deleting old PM folders and moving file from the disk image to applications folder) didn't work -- I'm still getting "application unexpectedly quit" errors. I also ran Disk Utility and repaired permissions, but that didn't help. It's not a problem with the PM5 key is it? That's in the prefs file. -- Nancy Creighton Purple Swirl Arts web and graphic design - http://www.hypertracker.com/go/purpleswirl/PSarts001/ >>How best to handle my email >>files so they don't get written over or anything? > >Select the folder that contains the message database and addressbook etc. >(probably in your document folder or similar) and make an archive (via >the action icon in the finder, you'll have a .zip file as the backup). > >---marlyse > > >
