I have on my G3 B/W, installed two operating systems on two separate hard
drives. They are OS-9.2.2  and OS-10.3.3. Due to my wife's predilection
towards remaining with OS-9. On each of these drives, I have PowerMail
4.2.1 installed (using the OS- X and OS-9 versions). I have been using
the OS-9 versions of powermail for about two years now, and am very happy
with it.
My problem is that any changes I make to the prefs file in either OS
version are also transferred to the other operating systems version. This
is not advantageous, as I would like my use of the Panther version to
include leaving copies on my ISP's server, while I wish them to be
removed in OS-9, which is the version we both use to read and respond to
our daily emails. I also want to add the passwords to my keychain in OS-X
but do not want this feature in OS-9.
 It may be helpful to know that I used the powermail folder from my OS-9
version to set up the new account in the OS-X version since I wanted all
the folders and messages from OS-9 to be carried over to OS-x, but I
assumed that once I made any changes to the OS-X version, after the
original installation, these changes would only apply to that version and
not both of them. I am no doubt, missing something obvious, but my
ignorance could use some help!
Thanks.
Jerry
