Hi, John,

The problem is very likely that Mail in Leopard changed things from the previous
format
(or the background commands have changed). eMA hasn't been updated in almost a
year,
and John Carlsen hasn't posted here in equally a long time, so it's pretty clear
that eMA is
in essence a dead product. I'd therefore recommend that you move to some other
solution. I've found MailSteward to be fast and quite reliable with Apple Mail
so you might
give that a try. The only hitch is if you have a large archive already in eMA or
another
FileMaker-based solution; I have yet to find an easy way to get said archive (or
a text
export) into MailSteward so you may not be able to have a single archive of all
your old
emails.

Regards.
