Yes, you did. And I will do this if anyone has any suggestions as to how to find or recognise a corrupted message. Suppose I try to open all the messages received or sent since the trouble started. What, if anything, will happen when I try to open a corrupted one? >>If the freezing occurs when I am away from my desk, the screensaver might >>kick in and then won't go away.

After the freeze, if you open system.log, >you might find the last entry before the freeze. Under Jag, you can find >system.log at /Var/log/. I doubt that PM is the culprit either. But where exactly is system.log or /Var/log/. Neither shows up under File/Find. I hope you're not suggesting I use Terminal 8^) After sending my last message, I quit PM to do some other work. I just restarted to find that all the received messages unread before the quit had nothing in the body of the message, including a digest message from a newsletter. Troubles are piling up faster than I can fix them. I've even stopped some of my routine backups to avoid backing up my problems with everything else.
