RE: [cobalt-users] Fw: Qube 2 - problems

(See my previous postings today for personal findings)
I think we are on a trail to the hangup problem here! Thanks to Jeremy and
Malcom.
I disable IMAP by my imposed default and still exhibit problems.
It is probable the user's files may have a connection.  The last group
folder I restored was "group" folder, I attempted to restore it thru GUI
backup and hosed nearly all my reconstruction work.  That group was "home"
and there was little in it #@$%?
