It sounds like you may have had improper or incomplete closure of winpm-32 and on restart some items were reset or rebuilt to default values. In order to perform one easy test close winpm-32 and rename state.pmj file to state.bak and on restart all will be at default sizes and locations. You will have to reset things and resize them.

The SMTP and POP settings are not stored in pmail.ini file any longer. They are stored in SMTP*.pnd and POP*.pnd files but are set and managed by Tools, Internet options and the tabs below with several for Receiving and also for Sending.

Were you possibly using dual monitors or experimenting with a viewing device of higher resolution or a CRT monitor and then also a new flat screen monitor of different resolution? Has your M$Windows been reset to different screen resolution?

I don't know what I've done, but I'm a "Puzzled Puppy".  Current version, 4.63 Build 325 on Win7Pro ... working fine for a year or more.

1st, my new message folder has gone above  the displayable area.  The bar by which I can drag it is invisible (hidden by the icon bar).  How do I get it to be accessible again?

2nd, the area where it said something like "3 messages queued" disappeared.  WHAT DID I DO?  How can I get it back?  This was not concurrent with the 1st.

3rd, in viewing pmail.ini, folstate.pm, hierarch.pm, and state.pmj for possible hints, I suspect an edit to state.pmj would help, but I don't know what does what.

More concerning, pmail.ini does not reflect settings I see in Tools|Internet options... particularly the SMTP relay host for outgoing mail is not what I've entered.  I've had too many problems in the last few months with Yahoo's handling of mail after ATT turned it over to them.

 Thanks folks!
