In your profile, rename the file Inbox, without       extension, to Oldbox. Delete Inbox.msf.              Open NS. It will create a new, empty Inbox. You should also see a new       folder in the tree called Oldbox. Move any messages you want to save       from Oldbox to Inbox. Close NS completely. Delete Oldbox and Oldbox.msf.              Lee              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
