Re: Mail.app and gMail
POP leave on server simply downloads the all mail in the mailbox (headers/messages/attachments) that hasn't previously been downloaded by that client and then leaves any messages on the server that have been downloaded within the leave on server time period deleting mail downloaded prior to that time span. good for being able to access read and write (if not send) mail off line, slow particularly on dial up. ' I'm pretty sure IMAP allows you to ONLY download the headers so you can then download the message body when you want to read it. good for mobile devices or dialup/satellite access but can't read mail that hasn't been already read (or selected to download) when offline Yup, you're correct. Good point. Andrew

One of the favourite things it does is to corrupt documents by destroying tables. We also occasionally have disappearing documents (and folders). I'd suggest trying copying documents locally, editing them and then putting them back on the server. At least for a while to see whether it improves things. If Safari and Filemaker are quitting though, there may be another problem. I'd also suggest checking the system log files to see if they can shed any light, and try memtestosx from http://www.memtestosx.org/ on his machine overnight to see if there are any RAM problems. If you're brave, you can try suggesting using NeoOffice/J or OpenOffice instead of Word, but changing mindsets is a much more difficult task to accomplish than changing machines :) Have fun, Shay -- === Shay Telfer Perth, Western Australia Technomancer Join Team Sungroper in the Opinions for hire [POQ] 2005 World Solar Challenge http://public.xdi.org/=Shayfnord http://sungroper.asn.au/

Company addresses in Mail
When I type in a Company name in the address field of Mail, it recognises the name and puts a pair of empty parentheses after it. On sending the mail it says that it is not a valid address. If, however, I go to Address Book from the Mail toolbar, find the relevant entry and hit the To button it enters the email address, not the company name, and sends the mail happily.

E-Record version 5
Hello I have just down loaded the above ( for system 10 ) from tax office. After doing as instructed I get mac message, You cannot execute the script Event-open CashBook because the JavaScript plug-in is missing. [3001,0]. The above problem also effects version 4 so now I cannot use either. (There should be an opening for a Mac programmer at the tax office as the one they have is no good. Had problems last year as well.) As the plugg-in is not in the plugg-in folder where do I down load from? I have sent an e-mail to E-Record comments hoping for a fix. Are other users having same problems? Regards from Alan.
