There are rumours that people exist who don't close a message window just after 
they opened it. I remember situations in which I opened several windows 
simultaneously and afterwards it's not too easy to determine if the folder they 
came from is the same the cursor just resides in.

That's not a valid comparison as a command shell always has only one active 
directory :) ...

I can't imagine. I'm running W4FP7 with 4OS2 3.01. I've noticed the mentioned 
behavior some years ago but PMMail doesn't crash on my system ...
