I have used the script in the past, but it didn't work for me; I had to purchase extra (very expensive) software, I had to have multiple applications/files open, I had to perform searches in two applications, I had to regularly move files over and this caused many headaches as my PM folder structure evolved. Plus, with the it's search engine, I actually found PM to be faster in searching the DB than FM. And, of course, this in no way addresses seeing the information (ie, from/to column); the FM ui was much (much) worse than PM's and was much harder to use and find information within (for me; other's may like FM's interface better or be willing to modify the FM ui to their liking). For me, I really like having one app that has ALL my email in it, has a powerful and fast search, and a great UI. I'm just pushing to get a 95% perfect app to be 100% perfect :) =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Lane Roathe, President Ideas From the Deep <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://www.ifd.com> ___________________________________________________________________ Life is cheap, but the accessories will break you.
