    Duplicate messages and directory permissions while moving to Win7

    Hi,

    I've got the following; just replaced my WinXP Pro system with a new Win7 Pro system. Installed Mercury from scratch, then copied the whole directory with all underlying directories to the new system, overwriting the fresh install. I read the FAQ that stated that Mercury has no config options elsewhere so this ought to work. (the old system and the fresh install where both the last version of mercury available).

    Now everything seems to be running fine (just 2 users in a home setting, using MAPI), except that some messages seem to duplicate. From what I see it seems to be related to messages being modified and then getting a duplicate. For example, a messages being marked as read gets a new unread copy, I also have a hard time getting some messages deleted).

    I'm suspicious about the directory/file permissions as I've been told that Win7 is much stricter than WinXP, and all the data (queue's, mailboxes, etc.) is located sub directories of "c:\program files\mercury\". So whats adviced regarding the directory locations on Win7 and what are the required permissions I need to set? (I tried to search the forum but couldn't find any info on it)

    any help is greatly appreciated. Thx.

    Thijs
