I've found out and rectified the cause of this phenomenom. Apparently, the latest beta is 
somehow more finicky about the whereabouts of the Tools directory. As I have my mail 
folders on a different drive from the PMMail2k exe, any slight error will result in funny 
stuff happening.

I've always kept my /Tools directory together with the /PMMail directory under the same 
parent directory while keeping the mail folders in a different location. However, this time 
round I discovered that for the dictionary to be functional, /Tools must be moved to 
where the mail folders are kept, as instructed in the PMMail FAQ on your site. Having 
done that, the dictionary is once again working normally.

One thing though, I am using Blackbox instead of Explorer as my shell in Windows XP. 
As a result, I am unable to create and use the traditional Windows shortcuts. Is there 
any way I can start PMMail2k so that it reads my mail folders in another location without 
having to resort to specifying this location which is only provided in the "Start in ... 
directory" fields of Windows shortcuts? Presently, I am limited to having to navigate 
through a few layers of "proper" menus before arriving at the program group from which 
I can then start PMMail. Perhaps the ability for the user to choose the location of his 
mail folders can be set in PMMail itself? It would be very nice to see this as a future 
feature.

Thanks.
