hi Evie, I doubt that anyone is poking around in your computer unless: 1) You have Timbuktu installed & someone has gotten or guessed the password AND the router forwards port 407 to your IP number. If that is the case, change your Timbuktu passwords, and change your computer's IP number. If your IP number is 192.168.1.xxx, you can use anything from 2-253 for the last chunk of it. That is, as long as nobody else is using that IP number in your network. But, I doubt that this is the case, so you probably don't need to change it.
or 2) someone is sitting at your desk when you're not around. Of the 2, this is perhaps more likely. There is a setting in Emailer preferences: "restore previous windows" which may be doing what it thinks it's supposed to. You might try "X"ing or un"X"ing that checkbox. Are you leaving your computer off when you're not around? No one, no matter how good, can hack into a computer unless it's on. Are you quitting Emailer? Is *anything* else different about your computer different when you come back to it? Question: If you close all your Emailer folders, then quit Emailer. Wait a minute then launch Emailer... Are all those folders exactly the way you left them? Best, Dave Nathanson Mac Medix PS: my spell check suggested "evildoer" to replace your email address!
