   Where did you even get that old beta version? You should switch to the latest   
   and greatest!   
      
   https://sourceforge.net/projects/fmail/files/FMail/2.0/FMailW32-   
   .0.1.zip/download   
      
   But I'm collecting the old archives, so if you have the 1.59b release zip file   
   I'm interested! ;)

   I would have to look into that...

   If the latest version still does that, we can try to debug that.   
      
   But I'm using a N: drive which is a samba share on the linux side of my system   
   from a virtual XP, which works flawlessly...   
      
   Bye, Wilfred.
