The clone does include a PM DB but it is about a month old (from when I last cloned my HD to my external drive). Therefore the PM DB on the clone is outdated in comparison to the current PM DB on my HD. I will backup my current PM separately to be able to replace the outdated PM which will be on my HD after I've cloned back from my external drive. >>Can I do this with PM ?

I can't seem to get the holding down Cmd to work, but thanks for pointing me to user environment. I'm new to PM and had not yet investigated this capability. I've just done a test and it seems I can put another PowerMail Files folder inside my existing PowerMail Files Folder, then open PM and switch user environment to this new PM Files Folder. I've also tried completely replacing my current PM Files folder with a different one and it works. So it appears that I will be able to get an up to date PM DB onto my HD with either of these methods. ----Irene ---Irene
