Cameron One method I use is to open the mailbox file in BBEdit, select and cut all the text, and then save the "apparently" empty file. I say apparently, because the account settings live in the resource fork of the mail file. Doing a cut then lets you paste the text to an empty BBEdit doc to examine at your leisure. Make sure there is no mail activity while you have the file open. The crude but effective technique I use is to pull the ethernet plug, make the change, plug back in ethernet. No need to shut down the server. -- Neil Neil Herber, RGD Corporate info at http://www.eton.ca/ Eton Systems, 15 Pinepoint Drive, Nepean, ON, Canada K2H 6B1 Tel: (613) 829-4668 ############################################################# This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
