Vickie,
You probably have a corrupted message folder in OE, usually =
"Folders.dbx" . You should do the following:
1. In OE> TOOLS> Options> Maintenance tab> Make sure "Compact messages =
in the background" is turned off.
2. In OE> FILE> Select "Work Off-line". Also click on Local Folders.
3. In OE> FILE> Folders> Compact All Folder.
4. Now wait until the PC finishes compacting your message folders. Don't =
use your PC for anything. It might take some time.
5. You will need to do#2 to 4 on a regular basis, especially if you go =
to allot of binary and music newsgroups.
6. Move out the INBOX folder of messages, create New Local folders and =
move the messages there.
7. Create message rules that direct messages right into the Local =
folders that you have created, when you download email. Use the INBOX =
folder as little as possible.=20
8. Also on create new Local folders (maybe create & name them for each =
month) and move those messages out of the SENT Items folder on a regular =
basis. Do not make the new folders a subfolder of the SENT Items folder.
