   I've been using SM for about six weeks with no problems. Today, when I   
   clicked on the quick launch icon, without my permission SM downloaded a   
   copy of itself into my computer, v1.1.1. (I don't know if this version   
   is different from the previous one of Feb 12.)   
      
   As as result, I had to do a new reinstall, including entering all my   
   preferences (default home page, names of news and mail servers, my   
   personal data, etc.). All my bookmarks remained available, but my saved   
   mail (contents of inbox, sent, drafts, unsent, etc.) is lost; that is,   
   these folders now are empty.   
      
   The new installation reused the old .slt folder. The Mail subfolder of   
   .slt contains two subfolders - mail.optonline.net and   
   mail.optonline-1.net. Apparently during reinstallation, SM didn't reuse   
   the mail.optonline.net folder but created a new one and added the -1 at   
   the end.  With the browser and the mail program closed, I copied the   
   contents of mail.optonline.net to mail.optonline-1.net, hoping that the   
   new installation would now contain my old mail. It doesn't. I looked in   
   the pref.js and pref-1.js files for a clue, but couldn't find anything   
   obvious. I appreciate any help you can give.   
      
   The next problem is transferring the list of subscribed newsgroups to   
   the new installation. I've copied everything in news.optonline.net to   
   news.optonline-1.net, but when I launch the newsgroups, I don't any of   
   the subscribed ones. Thanks also for your help here.
