Nope.  On a separate drive where I keep most of my data.

Almost.  See my reply to Roelof.  You are right about it using the same
files.

For the same reason I don't have it under the Program Files directory, I
don't want it there either.  My mail files get big and my C: drive is
not.  I suppose I could put them under the relative My Documents
directories which I have moved to the bigger drive.

But how does this solve my problem?  (It's late Friday here and the
brain is all used up for the week!)

If my wife starts TB! it 'cleanses' the email group which is *not*
stored in a user-specific place.  Where is it stored?  In the mail
directory?  If so, that might solve the problem I guess.

If this is the case then I am intrigued why the group definition is in a
file and the user definition in the registry.  Seems odd.
