Hi,

I just lost 3 days of mail. Probably because of my own clumsiness, I
admit, but it could be avoided easily.

Here is the scen:

I have an automated backup program making a bootable "mirrror" of my OSX
system drive twice a week. Somehow -- I don't know how or why --
PowerMail has used the "User Environment" on the mirror drive the latest
days, and now the backup has mirrored everything from my original OSX
drive to the mirror drive -- thus replacing the PowerMail folder I've
been using on the mirror drive with an older folder.

This could easily have been avoided if the path to the current user
environment was shown i.e. in the Mail Browser bar (don't know what it's
called in English, but I mean at the top where it now just says "Mail
Browser").

I've been thinking of this issue before -- the fact that you don't know
what user environment you actually use -- but know it was really actualized.

Please, please....?
