Thanks Dave, I went ahead and did that, and it seemed to fix the
problem.

I didn't realize I could do that, guess I've always just
right-clicked on each folder.  It's a great feature!

But I did uncover something interesting when I first started doing
one folder at a time, in addition to recent emails I knew I'd just
copied it, it was turning up hundreds (actually thousands) of old
emails from 1998-99 and from 2001-02!  Was there a version of
PMMail that didn't actually remove .MSG files when you deleted them
from within PMMail?  Or is there another reason this might have
happened?


Thanks again for the advice!
