Hmm, I don't quite understand why switching the application to get to you old messages is preferable to switching the User Environment. After all, switching the User Environment can be done by double-clicking an alias of the corresponding message database file… you can put that alias to the dock, to the desktop or bind a function key to it[1] to switch the environment with a single keystroke. Of course, that's not as handy as having ALL of the messages right there but in my opinion better still than using a different client just to store the old emails. Kind regards, Tobias Jung [1] Binding files to a function key can be done with XKeys <http://www.zarkonnen.com/xkeys.php> (free, runs under Leopard, don't know about SnowLeopard) or Function Keys Mapper <http://alphaomega.software.free.fr/functionkeysmapper/Function%20Keys %20Mapper.html> (€ 15, according to the web site it runs under SnowLeopard)
