*** Mainly the Jaguar version (the last I used). Panther = 10.3.1. I don't
think you'll have to worry. I was talking about Mail & G3 CPU's. You're in a
different ligue with your G4-1,25.

*** Purge (read: backup) big sized mailboxes and delete them from the list
so Mail doesn"t have to index them each time, and keep your address book
size down by backing up & deleting old contacts.

*** Syncs without problems.
