Yes, Ronni, I did all the usual things and it shows the mail box, and the
dates are active since the upgrade, it's just  the earlier ones.  Other
things e.g. documents are all right in their entirety.  The email I was
looking for concerns the person who did the transfer so it will have to
till his return from holiday[?]  Meanwhile, I shall enjoy all the other
great features except that tiresome missing forward 'delete' on the
wireless keyboard.

I  hope you are cooler than Perth,

Cheers,
Jennifer
