    Thanks endeavor,

    Yes, it was a good idea, too bad it didn't fully repair the folder, so it is not an option.

    So the ball is back in RKelly's court. I agree with you, there isn't much anyone can do without hard data on the issue, so we'll have to wait until the directory listing is posted by RKelly.

    If the data shows that the files in the directories are not what are expected, then the Reinstate WinMail tutorial should be run and the output from the run should be posted, just as Donz did in post#1509.

    Endeavor et al; I'm running a 64 bit system- It's an Intel core 2.13GHz CPU w/ 8GBs RAM- HP machine. I'll post the info when I can. We're getting ready for a trip south to try to help one of our kids, so I'm up to my neck here, trying to get the all the lawn mowed, pets taken care of... you know, the usual stuff. I believe all the files are there in the WinMail folder, but I'll check into it more when I can. Thanks so much. You folks amaze me. I probably amuse you. Is that a fair trade? :)

    @RKelly: Fair trade! Post the info when you catch a breather. Either endeavor or I will do the analysis when we can see the data. Safe journeys south.

    I did want to say that I found that the WM files in the machine that worked right were 2009/2010 files. Mine are 2013. Maybe I can look into it more while down yonder in the hot and muggy south. :)

    @Rkelly: Don't sweat it until you return - you have other things to care after.

    When you post the actual file list, we'll be in a better position to advise. Until then, we're just guessing on this side of your monitor. After comparing the WinMail files to a known list - we can stop guessing.

    Hey, I just looked up and noticed your locale - my older brother attended Lycoming.

    How about that! Lycoming is not too far from here at all.

    I just discovered something odd? I have my WM set to stay on server until I click 'Receive' but a bit ago I clicked on 'Refresh' & it started bringing in mail from both my accts, is it supposed to do that? Guess this must be the 1st time I've ever clicked Refresh button but sure wasn't expecting mail to come in.

    Refresh will make it poll for mail, so not a good idea to use that unless that's what you want. It's not quite the same as a browser page refresh. ;-)

    Thanx Peter, yup I won't be pressing that button again, I did assume it was like browser refresh.
