General OE Caveats:

- Don't use Inbox or Sent Items to archive messages. Move them to local
folders created for this purpose.

- Empty Deleted Items folder daily.

- Disable Background Compacting [N/A in SP2] and frequently perform a manual
compact of all OE folders while "working offline". More at
http://www.insideoe.com/files/maintain.htm.

- WinXP SP2 only: Do not attempt to close OE via Task Manager or shutdown
your machine if Automatic Compacting is taking place.

- Your anti-virus application's email scanning feature can also cause
corruption. Disable it. It provides no additional protection.

I get the error 0x800C012E,5 and then MSOE.dll not initialized (what does
that mean?). I've got plenty for memory and disc space. I got a copy of
OE 6 but it won't setup because I have a newer version. Can I remove the
bad OE and reload the new OE6 without losing my emails and addresses? and
let Update bring it up current? Or what can I do?
Thnaks,
