Donal,
Should have read your post closer - didn't get past the charting problems the first time. As for HF email, I'm afraid that Windows is it for now. I ran Sailmail extensively a year ago while cruising up and around the Charlottes and Vancouver island, and it worked really well on my MacBook with Parallels. I'm now running Fusion instead and it works equally as well. You can also just do a backup of your latest Parallels or Fusion .dmg install plus a backup of your virtual drive, and can easily reinstall. Having an official install disc really doesn't add anything. Pretty easy to do. Fusion also has a 'snapshot' function that may essentially be a backup but I haven't explored that. I just backup my whole Mac weekly and it includes Fusion and all the related files.
