   Sorry, my 76 yo mind must be failing.  NS 7.2 was what I meant.  And I   
   did delete all the *.msf files under what I thought was the active   
   Netscape for the userid in question.   
      
   I did a "Finder" search as OSX wouldn't handle your search procedure.   
   Finder came up with multiple Netscape Inbox files (and Draft, Sent,   
   etc).  I have installed NS 7.2 several times on this machine and they   
   seem all to have left traces of themselves (plus there are two other   
   userids that are working fine), so I chose the likeliest (I had deleted   
   [moved to another HD] all mail in the affected Inbox but not the 'Sent'   
   file, so that's how I found it).  And I shut NS and Mac down before   
   checking for results.   
      
   What resulted was the appearance of mail up through July 28, but no   
   later (and this is the only machine that Earthlink is instructed to DL   
   the mail on the server. My other iMacs leave the mail on the server).   
      
   Finally, after producing mail up through 7/28, I got that familiar error   
   message (as on my first post).   
      
   I suppose I could delete ALL *.msf files in any way connected to   
   Netscape Inbox.  Unless you have a better idea, this is what I shall do.   
      
   Again, much gratitude for you help.
