Everything works but mailboxes not visible.

I'm in trouble.

1) Eudora 7 was runing fine for years on my Acer netbook running XP,
including this past Sunday morning. Not at all sure what changed,
but now Eudora will do everything afaic, all the buttons and processes
work, except I can't open any of the mailboxes!!!

Clicking on In makes the virtual button go down and it stays down
until I release the left mouse key, but nothing happens after that,
not even a blink. When the cursor hovers over the button, I can see
in the status bar what the button does.

Going to the dropdown mailbox list doesn't help, even though all my
boxes are there, and Ctrl-0 and -1 don't do anything either!!

But I can see in the Filter Report all the emails downloaded, and I
can look in file manager and see t hat all the mbx files and toc files
have updated at the date and time that I see emails in the filter
report.

The only attribute of every file is "a". and the data files are all in
the same place.

Have you even heard of this before?


This coincides with a message that I have to have IE greater than v.3
to use the MS viewer. I have IE8.

A few other curiosities at the same time but I can't think of them
now, and I want to post this. Let me know if they matter.

TIA
