Thanks, Chris. I've decided, after much frustration, to let the attachments I already have reside on my desktop and not worry about keeping a full archive on both computers. I can't seem to get the backup/restore to work the way I want it to, but the new email coming in seems to be fine.
Thanks for your help. Now, if I could only get WordPerfect to install correctly. Argh.
