Ok. You very well may not suffer especially since you didn't know what
they were about. <g> But then, as you said, you may need them some
day. I think a reinstall of TB! should restore them for you. The
reinstall will not affect any of your data and settings.

Those other address book folders apart from the trusted and
intermediate Root Ca folders are for doing LDAP searches for
addresses. Each address book represents a different LDAP server. Pity
that you don't have any of them left to examine the properties of one
of them. You can do searches for e-mail addresses that are stored on
these LDAP servers. They're like directories.

Yes.

JF> :(

This is no great loss if you don't care for S/MIME. You can look in
the help at what S/MIME is about. It would take some reading to really
grasp what it's about, especially if you aren't familiar with PGP.

JF> I have a funny feeling I've deleted that something I may need/want someday.

Perhaps. Don't worry too much. :-)

That would surely relax you. <g>

JF> Geez, every time I try to tidy things up a bit, I end up deleting

Don't spring clean too much. Let the sleeping dogs lie. Wake them only
if you know what they're about, then they'd never bite you.

Cheer up and happy drinking. :-)
