So if anyone >has an idea... Sorry, I don't have any explanation for how or why your PowerMail Files folder might have gotten altered permissions. Under Tiger, I have occasionally had problems when updating applications, with a message about insufficient permissions. This was not simply an issue of User vs Admin privileges, but of the system not permitting me to drag a new application version into the Applications folder to replace an old version of the same application, even when authenticating with an admin password. I have always been able to work around the problem by dragging the old version of the application to the Trash, then installing the new version. Doesn't sound like a related problem, but I thought I would mention it, since you mentioned problems with the application, as well. - Don
