Oh man. My messages and folders are gone! I was unable to back anything up
because I was only able to get on via Safe Mode and of course, you can't run
a backup in Safe Mode. I was able to save just about all of my files other
ways though but my mail is GONE! Dang McAfee!
On a more positive note, I did uninstall McAfee & downloaded Avast. I feel
better already....except for the loss of my email.
Thank you all for the help.
