Ok. I deleted all the addresses in the PM address book and restarted PM. Then I imported the addresses from the Apple Address Book using; Import New Contacts, Import Groups, as they seemed the only applicable choices. (Right or wrong?) Then I quit PM. Upon restarting PM, I selected; Compact Database, Rebuild Index, Compact index - in that order. I had just exported messages to FMPro about an hour ago, so I'd be surprised if I have more than 50 messages remaining. (I don't archive the legit advertisements I get, but keep them in PM for a week or so, in case I should want to buy something.) The rebuilding and compacting only takes about 2-3 seconds each, so I'm usually very diligent about not skipping those steps after exporting messages. After the final compact of the index was complete, I restarted PM. Should I have done something else? I did glance in the PM address book, and it looks like my addresses in the Apple Address Book for the first time. Hopefully that'll minimize the quirks for a while. cheshirekat
