Yesterday, I fixed the problem that started this thread, but my user continues to have problems.

I asked my user three questions and have just obtained answers from him ...

1. Are you using Apple's Mail application to handle your email ? ......... Yes

2. Does your  Home/Library/  folder contain a folder named "Application Support" ? ..... Yes

3. Are you using FileVault ? ...... Yes

He has also informed me that his  Home/Library/  folder does not contain a folder named "Mail" (and sent me a screen shot of the folder. All names are in English.)

The very first thing my application does is to check that Home/Library/Mail/Mailboxes  exists. And it does! Is there any good reason for the "Mail" folder to be invisible?

His current error = -1700 (paraphrasing) it is not possible to get an alias to a folder in Application Support.

I am beginning to suspect that he needs to see an Apple repair person.

I don't use or have any knowledge of FileVault. Could FileVault involved with this problem ?
