[Jennifer Lefroy]

Thank you so much, Neil. I am in business.
Ronnie, I don’t know why my original request and your answer are not
showing in my in
inbox, but now Neil’s suggestion has worked. Thank you none the less.

For some reason, neither my first query nor Ronnie’s reply showed up in my
inbox.  I will try these methods.  Thank you all,

Re: MAIL BOX

[Julie Bedford]

Hi Neil

Your email must have taken a while to compose - many thanks for taking the time 
for me, much appreciated.  

I can see I have done a lot of what you did initially with the two computers.  
I try just to use the main one to download the emails and sort, but often it is 
not convenient as have a lot of the information I need on the other computer.  
I am now adding new mailboxes all the time on the main computer as I am unable 
to search for anything on it and emails are easier to find if in their own 
mailboxes.  Have no idea why that stopped a few months ago but think I need to 
re-install the OS again, but hoping the new computer will be on the market 
soon, I’ve not gone down that path as yet - what with backing up my hard drive 
etc.

I will keep your email handy as I will need to refer back to this when making 
my decision on what option to take.

Thanks again for the time you have given me on this one.

Cheers
Jewels
