Fine, and thanks. Now, where is this folder? Could this maybe be the reason for mail getting sluggish on me every month and making me have to delete Ray/Library/Preferences/Com.Apple.mail and also Ray/Library/Mail? I need to do that just to get Mail up to full speed. Also, quite a few times, when I open the top most message in a table to read it, Mail will often crash and need to be restarted. Any clews? Thanks. Sincerely, The Constantly Barefooted Ray!!!!! Now a proud Mac user!!!
