Yes, She will when She have all the info needed for doing it. You 
remember that She discovered that the info for the news.ecomstation.com 
DIDN'T existed under that dir but under news.ecomstation-1.com which She 
haven't created - the correct newsservername should be 
news.ecomstation.com. So should She copy the info below the 
ecomstation-1.com to its correct place BEFORE or AFTER the new profile 
is created? The ONLY newsserver that functions properly here in the old 
profile is news.mozilla.org, thanks the Great Mother for that!

What's the difference between doing an XCOPY of the Sent folder + it's 
.msf file and doing it via the program mentioned above?

Thanks! That dropped a load off Her mind indeed :-) So simple and 
elegant solution :-)
