Hi Bruce & Trevor,

Here's more info on what I think transpired:

Warp 4 FP 12, file system is HPFS, drive is IDE (ThinkPad 600e), after my 
machine seemed to lock up in the middle of retrieving messages, I rebooted 
(without internet access on the LAN so no more messages would download 
whilst I reindexed), I reindexed my PMMail folders one by one, as the big 
one- eComStation counted past 16K and some small change, PMMail (and my 
whole system) appeared to hang, if I recall correctly...??

Regards,

Randy
