Hey Dave, Thanks for the reply!
I am the only one here (I work from home) I am on the computer all day, I am back and forth in my email and other applications. I belive this has happened when I either stepped away from my desk to do some dishes, or was using a different application. I would never have opened all the folders with all their nested folder open, too... so the "restore" thingy is not 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? Yes. because the box is checked to restore previous windows. My external IP address is static, but my internal one is dynamic. No timbuktu. I don't turn off my computer much, because I am always using it! Weird stuff.
