Please ignore the posting by LsuEdu@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Do NOT change your message store according to
LsuEdu@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

If you do this you will most certainly lose all your mail.
That is NOT the way to change your message store.

Use the link in my first post to enable you to backup your mails and
restore them shoudl you need to.
