The best solution seems to be to route all your mail into one or more
sub accounts and collect from those with TP when the routing rules
will still work. If you try to use the default administrator mailbox
all the headers get re-written and TP can't sort out to whom the
e-mail was originally addressed.

In my experience, it's a problem which hasn't been explained by Demon
at all well. Having been migrated some months ago, I have now managed
to get Demon to send me my mail without it being rewritten to
Administrator. Took me several goes but it's essentially very simple
once you know how. Forgive me if someone else has already explained it
- I am a very slow bear sometimes.

Essentially all one needs to do is to log on to the web email portal as
administrator and add names to the administrator account. In my case
I've added my own and my wife's name. Our mail now comes in without
being rewritten and it goes into the correct mailboxes.

I can give a step by step guide by email if anyone needs it. Again, my
apologies if I'm repeating what has already been said.

The next problem, of course, is getting Turnpike to work with Windows
8. In case anyone is worrying about this I can say that Turnpike works
perfectly with Win8 32-bit; no need for a virtual box as there was with
Windows 7.

No No No. TP runs OK on W7 32 bit.
However, if you're running, or wanting to run, the 64-bit version of
Win8 then you will need a virtual box to run Turnpike, but this is not
a big deal. I downloaded and installed the Oracle VM Virtual Box (which
is free) with no problem at all, installed Windows XP in that and then
Turnpike. And that works perfectly.

Interestingly Turnpike Connect does work perfectly with 64-bit in
native mode. It's just that the Turnpike mail reader (Turnkick) won't
load. But a virtual box solves that problem.

W8 64 bit comes with its own virtual box which will run XP

The reason behind all this is the MS suddenly and without explanation
withdrew 32 bit explorer on W7 just before release. TP version 6 was
written, following MS recommendation for developers, to run in Explorer.

TP5 runs OK in native mode on W7. I've not seen any comment on anyone
running it on W8
There are still copies of TP5.02 around if you want to regress.
