[QUOTE="PGB1, post: 1582522, member: 76746"] Thank You for your help, Chscag. That was a good point you made about keeping the text backup. I'll do that before I nuke the mailbox. AT&T had to go. Too many problems as the ISP. The final straw was when they started charging me 20 cents every time they sent my AT&T cell phone a text message advertising their stuff. (They send a lot of texts, too). The old AT&T mail account automatically became a 'free' Yahoo account that is Mail App compatible when I terminated AT&T. But, as I understood it, one could use a brute force attack to 'stumble' on passwords. No 3 Strikes & You're Out limit. Lots of people on the machine tool groups I belong to got hijacked, too. Thankfully, I always took the messages off the server right away and kept no address book at Yahoo. This way, none of my recipients or senders got spammed by "me". (I hope) Thanks Again for your idea about the text backup. I love text files.Nothing seems to ever go wrong, even with those I made in the 1980's on an 8088 machine. Enjoy Today! Paul [/QUOTE]
