That sounds like a security issue. Microsoft added a layer of precaution against downloaded executables at some point which may well have been XP SP3. You can check if this is an issue with your .exe by right-clicking it in Explorer and choose properties. On one of the tabs (possibly the one you open by default) there will be an explanation about downloaded files being potentially harmful and bla-bla, but also a button that allows you to clear it of the "quarantine". You may have to restart your system afterwards. But as the others have said, you're probably better off with T'bird. Regarding the old mail stores, maybe you can use this extension to T'bird: http://www.nic-nac-project.de/~kaosmos/mboximport-en.html Jostein -- http://www.alunfoto.no/galleri/ http://alunfoto.blogspot.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
