Hi again Patije. It seems you STILL have some very serious problems with your Eudora. These things keep happening with your program and they should NOT happen! There is something, somewhere, in some of the Eudora files that has become corrupted. I don't think you will ever solve it until you completely uninstall Eudora, clean out the Registry, and then reinstall. This is, of course, AFTER you have backed up ALL the files that contain your Mailboxes, Folders, and Emails. I have seen this happen before with other programs besides Eudora. Sometimes when upgrades to programs are installed over existing programs Windows doesn't do things exactly as they are supposed to be done. That results in corrupted files -- usually a matter of certain things in the Registry files not being removed/changed when the upgrade is installed. It is rare, but it does happen. Patije, if you're ready, I already have an email to you formatted, showing what files need to be backed up before uninstalling and re-stalling.
