Hi Jeremy, I use the technique of switching databases, and the good news is that you can find messages via spotlight just fine. The bad news is that if you double click them, PowerMail opens them in the old database. If the developers are listening I would want to see: The name of the current open database somewhere in plain view at all times The institution of a recent database menu item that would allow you to quickly select databases without having to navigate the file system. Please add such features to the next release ASAP. Thanks, and so long for now, TOM
