I wrote that in the previous email. This meant I had received and received.gz in $user/Mail directory. I could not start xcmail until I had deleted the received.gz file. Is this a clue as to why it would not start after copying whole folders to the ARCHIV? Alternatively it suggests xcmail is not tolerant to some kinds of new files turning up in the Mail directory. It was tolerant to my backup.tar.gz file, and it was included in the listing of folder editor and controller, although I had done nothing include it. Regards, David Pilgram.
