I copied the whole kit and kaboodle to a storage drive, it should  not have the locks or permissions that the Vista has (Home Premium BTW) Still no joy.  Next wonderful step will be to reinstall WPmail.

<p>OK, eons ago when I got my Windows Vista 64 machine, I did my usual drag the PMail folder over to the new machine and made a link that is opened as administrator.  Been happily using it forever and not noticed any differences until now.  I subscribed to a new email list and tried to make it a folder, nothing happened.  Press escape and the program is back to it's usual state.  So, I think, I'll do as I usually do with manually transferred programs, I'll assign the whole folder as "everyone" has all rights.  Seemed to work until it got to the folder files in the user mail directory.I get a protected file error. Stare at it, try again, go to the user folder itself, try again, grab just one folder file and try it - seems to work.  Look at hundreds of files.. you gotta be kidding, I'm not doing it that way...</p><p> So... what gives and how can I fix it. I'm sure someone else has had this problem before, I figure it is some type of Windows permission issue.  In all the years I've been using this program I have never, ever had a problem that wasn't simply resolved.  I love my Pegasus Mail.</p><p> </p><p> </p>
