That's a pretty awful problem but I must say whatever my complaints
about PMMail/2 I haven't seen this behavior.  I used to see earlier
versions of PMMail/2 crash and the like, and after pullling my hair
out for quite some time, I stopped using the keyboard macro
application I was using (jumpkey, I thnk it was called) and -- no
more crashes.

It's certainly unacceptable behavior, but I can't remember seeing
other messages (about PMMail/2 that is, as opposed to PMMail 2000
which I think "Dave in Phoenix AZ" is talking about), so I'd wager
it's a conflict with another program.

Now, I just wish they'd be sure in the next release to correct the
problem of the folder.bags becoming unwired and making it necessary
to reindex one or another folder several times a week....
