Smart addresses no longer work!

Well, I solved my other email problem a week ago, and now this has popped up.

The Mail program 'seems" to occasionally reset stuff.
I just spent about an hour trying to figure out what was up with my groups. Suddenly, all the email addresses were appearing when I tried to send as a private group. I finally found, under "composing," the box to uncheck "always show addresses."

These phantom resets seem to show up just after I let the home Vault (Fault?) do it's thing to "regain disk space. I can usually expect to either see something like this message - this is the first time you have run this application - when opening, say, Acrobat for the one-thousandth time, or something like this that just occurred.

I dont understand why I get this message now often from the home vault (the need to recapture space) as there is 38/80 on the one drive and 80/150 on the other....is the memory failing on my six year old computer?

And, again, can I just "back up" this entire hard drive (sans operating system) onto an external? By dragging and dropping?

I think I need to do this asap as this is getting squirreler by the minute.

You may be able to find a way around this, but I would recommend turning off filevault entirely. If filevault fails for some reason, you would loose all of your data in your home directory. If you have some files you'd like to encrypt, you can simply create a folder for them, open disk utility, select "new image from folder", and enable encryption on that image. This will give you the same amount of protection, with less risk/errors/time.

Thanks. Will keep that in mind. I guess I could turn off Filevault entirely and not worry about it.

It's lose by the way, not loose. Loose change. Lose data. Seems a lot of people are making that mistake now...don't want to see loose become synonym. Bad enough people (including high paid announcers and spokesmodels) don't pronounce "t's" after "n's" anymore (innernet, innerduction, elemennery, innersection, innerstate, ennertainment)....and we've lost the word "an"....but, enough fifth grade spelling!!!!! After all, it's the thought that counts, right?
