Why She asked this it's because She can't delete toe file attachchments, 
i.e. tunes which She have sent to a friend, and that's because the old 
profile is sick. But perhaps if She delays the reindexing the Sent 
folder AFTER it's been placed in the new profile, then these attachments 
can be deleted properly and the Sent folder can then be compacted AND 
the Inbox can be compacted too  in the new profile as there are tons of 
space in the R: (FAT32) partition.

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 :-)
