Default deleting main identity in OE prior to giving PC away

Steve, how does one run a Defrag on OE only?

You want to get rid of your messages also. First find the location of the
message store via Tools | Accounts | Mail | Properties | Advanced | Store
Folder. You will want to get rid of the dbx files (back them up first if
you want) see www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#4

Before you do that though, go to File | Identities and set up a new
Identity and then exit the wizard without setting up a mail account or use
a dummy account. Then go to File | Identities | Manage Identities and
delete the old Main Identity (or whatever it was named).

Then get rid of the dbx files and that should get rid of it all.

Also clear your Temporary Internet Files in IE and run a defrag on it to
wipe out stuff.

I did that but even after I close OE and restart the PC - if I open OE it
goes out and checks my e-mail.

I don't want my messages accidentally downloaded if OE is opened.
