Chris has probably contacted you directly with the answers you need, 
but...

I just migrated from a 2000/2001 QuickSilver G4 (733MHZ) to a 2002 model 
(933MHZ), and stupidly erased my original boot drive (transplanted) 
before confirming that the disk image I had created actually =contained= 
files (it didn't), so I've nearly duplicated your problem. (Luckily I had 
saved my [EMAIL PROTECTED] folder to a CD.)

Running 10.4.11 I just put my [EMAIL PROTECTED] folder in the Applications 
folder 
-- I have prefs set to start Classic when the Mac starts up, and [EMAIL 
PROTECTED] 
finds it OK (or vice versa).

Your "Connections" file is =in= the [EMAIL PROTECTED] folder... I can't explain 
the 
"Error -5000" message. Chris?

Download PowerMail and take a look at it in demo mode. It's enough like 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] that if/when I'm forced to change that's what I'll go to.
