I'm currently seeing what happens if I disable Spotlight looking at my mail folders. It occurred to me that the problem *might* be that Eudora doesn't like another application having the files open for reading while it's trying to do stuff. This is just an idea, and I've not really used Eudora heavily enough since doing that to say if it might have any effect. Zane -- -- | Zane H.
