>Okay, I have found the glitch. FYI the WAB files (4 of them) are installed to the Common files folder. Move them to C:\Windows\system32 and all will work as it should.

Now having your user files in the system folder is surely not nice... watch out, your admin may be out to get you for this.

The last glitch I had with mail was in 2000, when I manually moved some files and the system was unable to properly identify them, so I lost one complete local folder - overwritten with blank one. But that was Netscape 6.something - ever since then, and over several years before that, I had no problem at all. Presently planning to upgrade from Thunderbird 1.5 to 2.0 - http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/thunderbird/

...and the price is right.
