    I've downloaded a fresh copy from the PMMail2000 website - the 
package was the same as the one that I installed several years ago - and 
I tried installing it both over the existing package and in a separate 
directory.  The install in a separate directory didn't have the usual 
config files nor the "Sets" and "Catalog" subdirectories which scares me 
but the pmmailw.exe was identical.

   I'm getting dismayed at this - I spend about six hours a day with 
personal and professional e-mails and news groups (I'm an allegedly 
retired engineer and attorney who does a lot of mentoring and consulting 
work "in retirement") and even the three days when I was out of mail 
touch resulted in several hundred e-mails being downloaded when I got 
T-Bird on line.  To be honest, though, our company site sent me 5 "real" 
messages and 242 pieces of spam over the weekend, while another site 
sent me about 300 real postings, all of which I have to skim before 
deleting.  The company IT guy can't seem to get the Spam filter adjusted 
right, but that's a whole different story!

Thanks anyhow for the help.  All suggestions appreciated.
