my inability to use the source info

I can't find the Eudora option that allows a 'sent' status in mailboxes
other than Out but I'll keep looking. If anybody can help here then
please chip in.

If you want to try my program I'd download the exe from
<http://phelum.net/files/TocFix.exe> then backup your mailboxes then run
the program and check the result. If there's anything you don't like
you can just copy your Out mailbox back to the directory and you're back
to square one.

To run the program (once downloaded) open a DOS box (Start > Programs >
Accessories > Command prompt). Assuming that you download the program
to the Temp directory and your mailboxes are in the Eudora directory you
should enter "\temp\tocfix \eudora\out" to run the program and tell it
to check your Out mailbox. Please change 'temp' and 'eudora' in the
command above to suit your specific setup. Once the program has run and
reported what it has done I'd start Eudora and check the Out box is how
you want it. If there are any problems just restore your Out mailbox
and tell me about it.

Cheers,

Does Windows think that your accounts: "Owns" the file? Not "Read only" after
restore.
