I'm appreciative to those that replied...

As I've never used OE, there certainly isn't anything to lose by
deleting the ID, and creating a new one...

problem is, that OE locks up BEFORE I can go to create a new
identity!!!

is there a command line to create a new ID?

TIA - Bob

why is this so hard? I've searched a zillion oe sites, and usenet

I'm running office 2000 (with outlook) along with ms exchange. (I've
tried on win2k & xp)
I'm running IE6, and OE6 with all available patches installed.

I've never used OE - so I CAN'T have any corrupt files - can I?!?. Now
I want to test email on an internet account, so I'm trying to use OE.
I've added the internet email account to OE, and OE starts up.
I can open the list of folders, but as soon as I click on ANY folder,
OE locks up.

if I go to the folder where OE stores its files:
1) I've tried deleting all the files, restart OE, the files get
recreated, but now OE locks up during startup.
2) I've tried deleting only the folders.dbx file; OE starts, re-
creates it, and locks up when I click on any folder.
3) I've check any & all registry settings I've read about, to no
avail.

All I freaking want to do is see if I can send/rcv Email from an
internet account!!! I've now spent ALL MORNING trying to get OE to do
this! This should NOT be so freaking hard.

ne ideas?
