The user currently has about 40 tags she made to organize her email for current projects, and she has been using this practice for over 3 years! I'm not sure if we'll attempt the repair as you suggested. Probably just abandon using tags and the user will come up with a new way of organizing her email. I will forewarn other users who may think this is a good method of organizing. Thanks again for your knowledge and patience on this! All very helpful and interesting! Best wishes! -- Thomas E.
